cleaning hardened grease off exterior of gun
How do you get old, hardened grease(I think) off the exterior of a gun completely covered in it? Covered so thick you can't read the lettering or open the gun,stock included.Bores appear to be full of it too.
|
What is the gun ?
|
Parker 10 bore? hammerless lower grade but can't see the engraving to tell for sure.
|
I’d start with an acetone soak.

I'll pass that on.He has a tank he uses to soak saws in to remove rust that the gun would fit in.Thanks.

My guess is the gun may have been dipped in a vat of a Cosmoline. If so you might have a nice hidden gem underneath that old hardened barrier. If someone hasn’t gone after it with a metal scrapper.
I would proceed slow. Try a test area on the barrel. Use some penetrating oil let it soak in then apply some light heat such as a hair dryer or heat gun. Google Cosmoline removal also contact Cosmoline for advise if you determine this is what has been applied to the Parker. |
