How to clean and oil/grease a Luger?
 

I just got my first Luger and I want to know what parts to oil or grease. I also want to know what grease and oil brand /type is recommended.

I found some field strip videos on youtube. That takes care of the stripping.

bchamorro,

welcome to the Lugerforum I believe that you may be our only member from your country.

Grease is not really required for lubrication of a Luger pistol, but some use it on the slide grooves and where the toggle knobs strike the ears of the frame. Keep your Luger clean, and I personally use a lubricant called Breakfree. It does a very good job of lubrication. Lightly lubricate all parts. Do not let oil get on your grips however... keep your grips oil free.

What type of Luger do you own?

Thanks a lot for the info, John.
I own a 1911 Erfurt Luger. I recently bought it from a retired Nicaraguan grmy general. I wonder how he got his hands on a Luger? Lugers are not very common in Central America and specially Nicaragua. I've always wanted to own on and I think he gave me my only opportunity. He told me he also has a Luger from 1936 (didn't mention the manufacturer), but it has a lot of use. I might still buy it from him because these are the only Lugers I will be able to own (unless I buy one out of the country, which would be a hassle).

I believe you already saw my Luger thread :D

Thanks
