Trojan 16 Guage Restoration
I got the checkering restrike job back from Turnbull and I am ready to put everything back together. BTW the wood looks fantastic, I couldn't be more pleased.
I need a little advice on cleaning the innards of my frame. I don't think this gun as been apart since it left the factory in 1914. It is not gummed up, instead it has a dry black coating on everything. I was thinking of cleaning with ultrasound, but I do not want to remove the patina on the outside of the frame. What chemicals should I use on the inside of the frame. Also, once cleaned, I usually lubricate my other gun's sears and metal-on-metal parts with a light coating of moly paste. Obviouly, one does not want and abundance of oils and lubricants permating the wood as it leaches out of the frame. I am new to Parkers so I want to proceed with care.
Thanks - advice appreciated.
