Hi everyone,
Just a quick question really on storage condition of grenades. I currently store my in the open and are cleaned regularly alike a gun. Taken apart, cleaned with gun oil (to help repell moisture in the air), all excess removed gun oil and then reassembled. I then take a small boot brush (fine bristled) and apply beeswax. This is then 'buffed' and the proces of adding additional beeswax repeated until I'm 'happy'.
One big question I have though is whether anyone stores the grenades with the striker and spring 'set' or not. I'm just aware that many of these are almost a century old and thus the parts must surely be subject to fatigue?
What is everyone's thoughts and suggestions?
kindest regards
