Luger not shot in 25 years...is it safe?

[sfirzli]

Thanks all. My other concern is safety (mine and others). Is it possible for apart to fly off or explode and hurt the shooter? Of course safety glasses will always be worn.

I have read several anecdotal reports here of front sights flying off...And magazine bottoms [wood] breaking/blowing out and spewing springs, followers, and cartridges on the ground...One member had a toggle knob break off...

There was a call for reports of breakages...Here it is...

Although the title says "Finished", members have continued reporting breakages after the failure report was compiled...
