Mr. Opacak,
What would your suggestion be if you took the locks off to clean but did not want to take apart or what about a boxlock that you take partly apart and don't want to go further. Lets say a Parker hammerless that you have the stock and trigger plate off. I know guys would like to clean them up a bit but are afraid to take them completely apart. Would you use the oven cleaner but maybe boil it?

So many guns, so little time!
