The principal cause of damage to Parkers is amateur messing with them.

That $850 gun can get to $500 real quick by trying to clean it up.

I recommended the maroon color. The color tells you what the abrasive quality is. Maroon is a very light abrasive. I agree if you use the wrong color it will scratch.

If you try bronze wool and gun oil, or No. 9 solvent, you will be surprised at how much crud you can take off without damaging the aged patina and/or bluing. I use brass scrapers for scaly rust, followed by the bronze wool. Good luck. Cheers!

Thank you; becoming a member is one of my goals for the year. When I go to the FAQ, all I get is a search page, which yields zip when I try disassembly, cleaning, etc. ?

Greg, That's strange. I don't think it's for member's only. Maybe John will weigh in here.

Hi guys,

I'm on the road but Greg, I'm so sorry for the difficulties! Dave is right, it's not closed to members only. Let me take a look when I get back (I'm traveling and writing this from my iPhone), ok? As well, Robin has done simply a fantastic job at pulling together the reference areas of the PGCA website for everyone, so maybe Robin can take a look as well?

Anyway- so sorry for any difficulties at all..!

John
