Cleaning old guns

[Randy Radmer]

Dean,

Good question. At this point I really don't know what is original vs staining. At this point I'm going to just let the oil I put on soften the old crud that has built up over the years and then clean that off with a cloth. Otherwise I am concerned that I may do more harm than good so am going to wait until I get together with Lee to let him give me some insight. I finally got pictures and am going to try posting them.

I am real glad I read this post. I have several old Parkers and I have often wondered the same thing. A friend long ago told me if you do not know what you are doing, you will most likely make it worse. Thanks for the info
