Re: storing Lugers ?
gewehr guy,
As to the safe storage, there are many different ways to keep them safe and this is a matter of taste.
I am fortunante that I have a build in vault and I can arrange my pistols on pegboard to enjoy. For even this stroage, I receommend the preservative grease called RIG (Rust Inhibiting Grease) and keep a lambswool pad coated with rig to wipe the pistols down with after handling. RIG is a well know and trusted grease for long term preservation. The Bore-Stor cases are also and excellent way to prevent rust. If you do have a safe, a moisture absorbing material in the safe will be a bif help. If you use all three methods, you should never have any problems. As G.T. stated, deifferent parts of the country from the salt air coast to the dry deserts make a big difference in how often they should be checked. As you probably know most of this from other firearm storage, but I like the RIG as a rust preventive coating.
