Default Using Transmission Oil To Clean Guns.

I like to restore old guns to shooting condition. A lot of the old 1894 Winchesters and S&Ws are over 100 years old and are coated with layers, of powder, hardened grease/oil and plain old dirt. When I take them apart I soak them in ATF for days or weeks. What is your experience using the "red" stuff?
I think its great stuff. Please let us hear from like users!
