[QUOTE="Danny Tanner, post: 1573810, member: 10619"] Got mine all sparkly and put back together. I had the stock outside in the sun for a couple of hours to get the process started, then I wrapped it in newspaper and put it up in my attic for another 3-4 hours, there was no comso on my paper and doing another wipe down showed very minimal residue on the towel. So either I'm too impatient or most of it has bled out. I disassembled the bolt assembly and wiped off all that gunk and then boiled the pieces for a couple of minutes with a tiny bit of Dial dish soap, which naturally opened up some pores of the metal and made it look like crap (which I expected), but after some steel polish and a swipe of CLP, it looks really good. I also poured boiling water over the receiver and down the barrel until the water was no longer oily, let air dry, and then applied CLP there. Reassembled now and it looks really good. The wood's finish is in decent shape, but could use some love in a couple of spots. I couldn't be happier, Honeybee, thanks again! [/QUOTE]
