[The Virginian]

Everytime I get a new pistol I take off the grips and soak it in a bath of Ed's Red overnight. One part deodorized Kerosene, one part deodorized minerals spirits (Varsol) and Automatic Transmission Fluid...one part acetone is optional. This stuff really gets your gun clean, eats under the rust, but won't harm bluing and lubricates at the same time. For more information do a Google search on Ed's Red.
