Nice gun! I really like the floor plate birds. The buggered screws could be fixed pretty cheaply and it looks like it deserves that to me. I sure wouldn't use anything beyond Hoppes on the metal. Start with round toothpicks to clean out the screw slots and any corners and grooves and nooks and crannies that are filled with hardened old oil and crud. They work especially all along the sides of the ribs. They won't ever damage any metal. A bit of Wrights Silver Cream will clean up that oval plate on the bottom of the stock.
