"Shooters" Care and Maintenance

renaissance · 07-07-2001, 07:35 AM

My luger ("The Bloody Beast" )is neither a prime "Collectors Model" nor in "Collector Condition".

I call it a "Shooter" because "I shoot it"; rather than because it is "not of Collector quality"

I shoot it regularly and often.

I use my own reloaded 9mm ammo.

125 grain RN FMJ

1.15X OAL

4.3 of Unique OR 4.0 of TiteGroup

The "Beast" functions flawlessly with either.

Quite accurate, also; (at 25 feet > 2.0" groups print at 1.5" and 5 O'clock from POA) > [ as good as I can hold it ]

I do not want to "shoot it out" or "break it".

What comprises "proper preventative maintenance" for a regularly fired > 1940 "42".

How far should I break it down for cleaning and maintenance; and how often.

Lubrication hints (use what and where?)

I'd like to hear from other "Shooters" on this.
