Ditto the sonic cleaner . I like to put a mix of mineral spirits / ATF oil W/a Dash of Kroil and most everthing comes apart. I have a 1815 lock ( Brown Bess)that had not been touched in 200 yrs. before I let it bath for 36 hrs. All screws come out with a "washer" under it of oxidized grease .

Thanks for the info on a sonic cleaner but I don't happen to own one.
I think I'm looking for something I can wash the locks in by hand and get them reasonably clean. Thanks again ,Herb |

A tooth brush + mineral spirits + Gun Scrubber + a light oiling to protect the metal.

It looks like you flunked downsizing, Herb.
If I have this right, when we last spoke you had said something to me along the lines of your having reckoned with your stage in life and had sold off nearly all of your guns. Nice to hear that a C-grade hammer gun, rife with possibilities for you to oversee the reclamation of, can call us back into the game.

Thanks guys I found an old battery run toothbrush that I think will work perfectly,I even have some mineral spirits.
Now about my ,ahem, down sizing. In the past year I bought 3 Lifters,and an English ,D.Williamson 12 with 30" brls. bored cyl. and full. My thoughts are that next year I am definitely, maybe downsizing .That still gives me the rest of this year to grab some more great buys. Grouse hunting has been great this year plenty of birds and lots of Woodcock My Brittany ,Hooch has finally turned into a bird dog instead of a knucklehead and I did not have to swear at him but once or twice. |

I use lacquer thinner in my sonic cleaner and toss the pieces in a day early without running it. Turn it on the next day and all the nasty goo just disappears.
