Parker Brothers 12 Gauge SxS......Help.......Pics!

Watch those scotch brite pads or any other pads. I would rather you use standard steel wool. I have seen pads that would scratch a chrome bumper. I have the chrome bumper to prove it. If the stuff doesn't all come off, the gun will look better and lose less value than if you cut it until it shines.

Please resist the urge to disassemble the gun till you have read here about the screws;their condition and orientation are important in a Parker.This forum contains detailed instructions for cleaning and disassembly if you wish to do this or have a gunsmith familiar with Parkers do this.Good luck,Hugh.

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

Where would I find them? I have tried the search function with no success.

Greg, Go to the home page...Go to FAQ....Tenth question down should help you out.

How about joining the PGCA?....

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!

Mark,
Where can you find bronze wool? I've looked for it and haven't been able to find it. Eric

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.

I looked at this and it looks like the instructions that I found and linked to in google books was changed and the instructions are no longer available. I removed the FAQ link to the google book.
