I was at a customers house today and she mentioned she had some old guns that belonged to her Dad,Johnny.
Johnny passed suddenly a couple of years ago and Mom passed shortly after.
I didn't have much time so I looked at two that were on the wall.Some plastic stocked .410 single shot and a .22 that was a little strange to me.
She's an animal lover and has a bunch.See where this is going?
Filthy and surface rust under a few years of cat dander and dust.
I'd like to help her out and at least clean them up some what and find out what she's got.
She mentioned a "long barreled pistol" as I was leaving.I asked her if it was a revolver.She said it was.
I liked Johnny and would like to help her out and maybe make a good deal for myself as well.

What would you bring to help clean them up?????

For removing surface rust this stuff is amazing. Just oil the metal and rub with the pad, rust gone bluing still there.

A large, mean dog will take care of the long term storage problem.
See above for gun cleaning suggestions.

You guys are too funny.

I think some cleaner and oil just to see what's under the crud.

Gloves for sure.I'll take them outside under her carport for some fresh air.

The .22 looks like a military trainer with a full length stock but has a tube mag.???
