If you do deside to shoot your beauties, avoid hot ammo, as there is plenty of it out there!!!

Many, here, shoot the "White Box Winchester" ammo available at your local Wal-Mart. This seems to operate the majority of the Lugers out there, though it is not a perfect match.

On your byf 42 ( I have a byf 41) use a 9mm or .357 copper brush to break loose the easy stuff, then oil.

Have fun shooting, if you decide to do so.

Hi.

thanks for the advice. I just wanted to clarify, I shot the byf42 one time, just to see what it was like (these are my first lugers). And even then, I replaced the firing pin with a reproduction just in case.

That being said I will not shoot the pictured "collectors" anymore. I recently acquired a non-prime example (re-blued, non matching, etc) that I will use as a shooter.

Best Regards!
