-- Must be the extra "Nog" in the office party punchbowl- I don't know either how we went from parts for your Parker Trojan shotgun to actress Sarah Jessica Parker and or the Petoskey Middle School soccer Moms- but to quote the late Jerry Garcia here: "What a long, strange trip this has been"--

You never know about names and nomenclature- The Parker economy grade shotgun named after a wooden horse- I often wondered if Parker Brothers ever thought about renaming their DH(E) Grade gun barrels from Titanic, after the April 1912 disaster- to another word- but they didn't--

Anyway, the sonic cleaner is a great idea- never have used that process. The old rule of gun component lubrication is- Oil moves and migrates, grease doesn't- In some way, the wall mounted horizontal gun racks my grandfather and father used for storage of their rifles and shotguns prevented excess oil from running downwards from a muzzle upwards vertical storage of a shotgun or rifle. Also the older trunk and LOM cases used for both transport and storage prevented this- less chance of oil moving into the wood at the stock head-

Let us know how the Trojan shoots after you have re-assembled it and lubed critical parts- betcha it will outlast either you or me-
