[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 2260347, member: 29706"] Tranny fluid has always worked for me, find a pair of rusted pliers and drop them in a bucket of used stuff, maybe thin it with a little diesel. See what the outside looks like, if there is major pitting probably figure the same amount or worse on the inside. Setup a rig so you can fire a couple shells of target shot down the barrel safely but without holding on to the gun. Inspect and then run some steel bird bird shot, if it can handle that it should be safe to use. Clean the inside and see how it looks. If you have the whole gun find some numbers on it before doing restoration of the bluing, generally an older weapon is worth more if it is not reblued. Using a penetrating oil, tranny fluid or other non mechanical means of an initial cleaning so that you can find some info would be best to begin with. If you find it's an 80's model shotty then you can probably go hog wild and do whatever you want. But that's my nickel since two cents won't get you anything now a days, lol. [/QUOTE]
