R. Shattuck's Lugers - Rust Prevention

I found a superb product on the market called the "Inhibitor" It is an oil based product, utilizing an added VCI(Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor). It provides lubrication and a vapor barrier to protect the metal surfaces. Industry has used this technology for years to protect bare metal! They also sell "Inhibitor Plugs" about the size of a 12ga. Shotgun Shell that emits a vapor barrier for gun cabinets, cases etc. What I do is since most my Lugers are stored in cases, I:


1) Oil the guns surface with the above mixture

2) Wrap the guns in a vapor paper

3) Put the guns in a "sack up" gun sleave

4) Put the guns in a "quality" gun case

5) Put an Inhibitor Plug in the case for extra measure.


This seems to work well. I also recommend checking the guns every three to six months for any signs of corrosion. This is expensive, but I also see my Lugers as an investment for my daughter. This is great stuff!
