I have found and was told at unit armorers school, that more guns are damaged by over cleaning or other issues like that....

If you see rust, then it needs to be cleaned off. if you mean pitting, well, that is there and you keep it from spreading.

Like most antiques, doing 'more' is NOT better.

I keep all my collectables in bore-stores and I sell them at gunshows.
