Please use Frontier Metal Cleaning Pads with light gun oil. I cleaned up my Dads 1884 Twist Steel Parker with the pads and Hoppes #9. Used Hoppes #9 on the stock with a light coat 1 minute "soak" then wipe dry. Stock cleaning took about 6-8 total applications. The stock was not oil soaked however. You can also clean the bores by wrapping some of the Frontier Pad around a bore brush and run it through. I used a cordless drill with great success. Also have on hand toothpicks, Q-tips, and a gazillion cotton rags ohh and an air compressor with blow gun is handy. Don't be afraid to be aggressive on the metal with the Frontier pads, just wipe dry and check often. Good luck
