A local gun and pawn shop has a setup made of large pvc pipes filled with hd motor oil that he just soaks rusted guns in for a few days. He says that the detergent does wonders for removing rust. He had a couple soaking that he showed me. He had a revolver that the shells would not come out of the chambers. After soaking some just fell out and the other punched out easily. I'm not ready for that process yet. Thanks everyone. Gerald

Well I finally got around to taking it apart and giving it a good cleaning. I could not see anything other than some hardened lube and crud and not really much of that. Seems to have solved the problem. Thanks Friends Gerald
