Don't touch it yourself unless you've done this before and are completely confident. Follow Dean's advice and have it professionally disassembled and cleaned by a professional. Brad Bachelder in Grand Rapids comes to mind and there are others. Members of this Forum may suggest others. It's too nice a gun not to have it professionally made ready for shooting. Also and in the future, you need to store this gun in a low humidity environment. The wood looks vey dark which might indicate it is oil soaked. This should be evaluated as well.
