1918 Mauser Luger info

[lugerholsterrepair]

Richard gives good advice..Any new to you luger should be recommend that you break it down(disassemble) , and give it a good cleaning and a good lubing. These Lugers like to be kept clean and lubed.

I just got a fine collector pistol where dried old oil had gummed up the works including the plunger & spring on the sear. It was locked solid. This would prevent the pistol from functioning properly of course. After removing the plunger pin, plunger and spring I scraped off all the gunk, polished it all up inside and out..re oiled it with a light sewing machine oil and the pistol fired a few rounds to satisfy my curiosity. Cycled and ejected properly so I am a happy man. I will likely never shoot it again but I know it WILL shoot!
