Sounds like you need Hoppe's #9 or mineral spirits with a toothbrush to get that stuff off...

Ed's Red works as well, and it's cheap enough for dunking large parts/subassemblies or even the whole gun. Just be careful with painted areas, I use the formula without the acetone, but it may still affect paint. The only place on a Luger would be the text behind the safety, so I would be careful with that.

I have the barrel and extension soaking in KROIL at the present, let is sit overnight and use a brass brush on it in the morning, no hurry.

Hi,

WD-40 and a tooth brush always works for me!

After you have "degummed" the pistol, I'm sure it will work with all of the original parts reinstalled.

Good luck with your fine acquisition!!! If all ends up well, your purchase price is an unbelievable steal!!
