I have tried these ATF/Acetone concoctions, and find them unsatisfactory for typically dried oil/gummed up gun parts.

While this may be a fun experiment in alchemy, this stuff does NOT work as well as immersing gummed up gun bits in a full bath of lacquer thinner for a few days. Lubrication is okay. But dissolution/breakdown of old goo is really what you are after.

Try leaving in hot sunshine for a few hours. An old remedy.
My two cents!

Just a thought in your case
Dont boil but heat lub to approx. 200 to 250 degrees for 45 minutes.
With frozen part submerged.
Again just a thought.
Please excuse me if you dont agree.
Thanks Rufus
