Yentzen,
How many hours did you have it before you took it apart?
The last guy to touch those screws is dead and buried somewhere in Belgium

I had the gun all day at work before I got her home. She still looks like the only guy that touched the screws was a guy in Belgium. I cant believe what some people do to nice gun screws. |

Yentzen,
What do you prefer to use to remove the carmalized oil etc?
I've tried a few things but found nothing better than Hoppes #9....though I've thought about mixing up a batch of Ed's Red...

Hoppes #9 for me. 000 steel wool and a bronze brush. I love the smell of Hoppes.  |
