I have had really good luck with the orange citric based Safari Charlie that the Frontier Pad people sell. It cleans the gunk from inside the gun and screw slots very well. It is a cleaner/lubricant so I wouldn't try it on wood.

Big45.com


I have used the household orange citric acid spray cleaner on a few nasty old recoil pads with great results, though. A salesman once demonstrated his product to me by dissolving a styrofoam cup in the palm of hs hand whilst spraying some on the cup. Impressive....

That's an old one. When I was a kid in high school and worked at a gas station my boss once handed me a styrofoam coffee cup and said "I need some solvent Dean, go get me a cup of gasoline."

I made it about 5 feet from the pump before the cup dissolved.

That sounds like a “white lamp black” deal.

Or when I was 10 at day camp and the councilors sent me to the girl scout camp down the lake to borrow 100 feet of shore line.....

Remember my first day pumping gas. They started me with a 57 Chevy. Think I could find the gas cap?

It’s in the back of the left wing behind the taillight - turn the vertical chrome lock... but you know that now.
