I am looking for recomendations on how to gently clean the engraving on my Churchill Premiere's. The guns are colour case hardened and I do not want to remove any of this colour but the general appearance looks grubby.







Thank you
Bob

Bob,

The engraving doesn't look "grubby" to me. The wood is in beautiful shape. If you'd like to try something you might spray the grubby area Ballistol, let it soak a while and then gently go at it with a tooth brush. I don't "think" this would remove any case color and Balllistol will not harm the wood or its finish.

Good luck.

Phil

an ultra-sonic cleaner will do the best job with no damage to anything. You might even find some color under the grime.

To do it properly the gun needs to be stripped down , thoroughly cleaned and re-lacquered . If you try to do anything with it assembled you run risk of marking/marring the wood . If you don't re-lacquer then the remaining colour is at risk of rapid deterioration .

Good Point:
I suspect that many on this forum don't know just what a nice job a hard wax such as Ren wax does of gently cleaning as well as protecting firearms.
Along with not damaging case coloring it will pull surface rust out of blueing without damaging the blueing as well.

Renaissance isn't a hard wax....fact is I don't think it's really a wax.
