Luger Wood! Fun with heat!
There have been a lot of different ideas about how Luger wood was treated when it was first made.......Well,...I can tell you one way it wasn't!!! I know you have all heard the one about all the parts were thrown in a vat of hot boiled linseed oil....I couldn't wait to try this one, so I heated up some oil and tossed in about a half dozen mag. bottoms...I took them out and they looked beautiful, only problem was, they had shrunk about .030 from lose of moisture! They were worthless, attempts to replace the moisture, futile,........live & learn!...till...later...G.T.
