Stu, it's hard to know what you mean by ''clean up". Many people here are adept enough to use a product like Flitz or other metal cleaner/polish to clean off the bulk of corrosion and dullness off barrels and action, and to scrub dirt and old grime off stocks. You can hand rub a top coat of french polish or Tru-Oil onto the wood. All this can be done yourself if you have a light hand and are careful, and I have taken cleaning and light refinishing supplies along on hunting trips when I know a buddy has a new old gun and he wants to know how to give it a little fluffing.
Many people come on here and ask for advise but they do not post photos of the gun so consequently, our advise is very general. The more detailed a poster can be, people here will reciprocate, and a picture is worth a thousand words.
