mattslaptop247 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Ive just bought a 410 made in 1924, looks like it hasn't had a clean since th day it was made! The outside has cleaned up well with a bit of bore cleaner but bit inside itis still quite a state. Ive roded it with a phospher bronze, mopped it clean and repeated till my arms were fit for dropping off. Someone suggested boiling water down he barrells to oen up the pores etc, this helped a little. Anyone got any suggestions?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlander Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 By the sounds of it you didn't buy this from a dealer (who presumably would have cleaned it up AND checked it over first)? I'd get it checked, is it in proof, is it safe, is your life worth it??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattslaptop247 Posted June 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 I only paid £15 for it, I liked the highly figured stock and was going to put it on one of my others, just seems a shame to waste it if I can get it back into ggod nic. My local gunsmith checked it over and says its ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
