Above all don't use anything abrasive in the bores, or anywhere else on your gun.

My personal choice, though others may offer different products, is Big 45 Frontier Pads on a ramrod with a solvent like Hoppe's, chucked up in a cordless drill to clean up the bores. The Frontier Pads can also be used on external metal parts and will NOT damage blueing, case colors, or Damascus finishes.

It's refreshing to see gems like this coming out of the woodwork, instead of the same guns just getting recycled from one collector to another.

I think you have it backwards. The guns are just recycling the owners. They will be here long after we are gone.

Edgar I agree it's always nice to see fresh Parkers surface. It's what keeps us hunting. The BH I bought recently was in the same family for 104 years.

The northwestern part of CT, Litchfield County, is an area known for old money. I often find myself thinking as I drive past some of those old homes "I wonder what's tucked away in that attic".
