There are a few topics about Lugers like best long-term storage, grip cleaning, lubricants that cry out for solid research. That is because all we really have is collector anecdotes like the one I just posted. Luger metals and finishes and grips are reasonably tough so of course lots of stuff works, or seems to, for lots of collectors. I am happy to report my personal experience that none of my Lugers have disintegrated when placed in a Bore Store, or my favorite lube is used, or my favorite grip cleaning/preservation strategy is used. But I would prefer data from an expert.

4 Sale,

This has been my favored method of Luger and Mauser rifle storage for the last 35 years with no problems, whatsoever!

One group of mint condition pre-WWI Mausers had no follow-up recleaning for 29 years with absolutely no issues at all!!!

Bore Stores products work great!!!
