Need help starting first cleaning of new to me 1906 AE

flomofo · 12-02-2011, 01:09 AM

I just picked it up and took photos to post here but have it apart right now and just have a quick question.

It looks to be all original and in good shape with a lot of the blue left on it.

I bought Corrosion X for the first time and am wondering if I can douse the gun parts, bore, springs etc. in the corrosion X and then let it sit covered in oil in a plastic bag overnight until I can get to it either friday or over the weekend?

Also not sure how to preserve the grips until I can clean them as well.

The goal is to just really clean and then preserve the gun with no restoration.
