I am always amazed how much dirt & grime comes attached to a 100 year old gun.
A casual look & they appear to be OK but when I get right into it the old hardened lube in the corners & the engraving & inside the action is like a potato field
I just got another one & the grime just keeps on coming off.
It will be stripped & put into the ultrasonic cleaner to finish it of.
Gun cleaning seems to be some sort of oxymoron.
