Since parts for these old guns are scarce,Dr. Rob posted a site where , If needed, some repair parts can be obtained. Kerosene is a very gun cleaner for your gun, it's not the best, but will suffice. After cleaning it should be wiped down with a very fine grade of light oil, however if nothing else is available, then a light grade of engine oil will do. I understand that you have to adapt to the availability of produces.
