After perusing YouTube for a good tutorial, I felt ready to tackle the disassembly, cleaning, and lubing of my newest to the stable ---- a 1940 Mauser Luger. While it wasn't difficult at all to do, it was certainly different than anything I've done. It's amazing how close the tolerances are for this firearm! Accomplished without any hiccups. It certainly racks much easier and smoother than before!
This particular model isn't one of the ultra rare collector's models --- just a nice actual shooter. I am looking for suggestions of what I should do with the walnut grips. I'm not worried about doing something that would hurt the value, just want to 'clean' 'em up a bit. The grips are in very good shape with the exception of a partial/slight discoloration where the index finger and thumb grip. The color is slightly lighter in this section. Any tips or recommendations would be appreciated!
