I picked up an older model Mossberg 500 the other day. It has wood furniture, checkered grip area and forearm. The receiver is etched and the blueing was nice and shiny, under the dust and surface rust. Came with a 30" full choke fixed barrel.
Gun had apparently been used a small bit back in the day, maybe early 70's, and then had set somewhere, forgotten. The action was all gummed up and the barrel just would not come clean. I scrubbed it 4 times with Hoppes #9 and a brass bore bursh, but there was still some sort of residue in there. Not rust since there was no oxidation on patches.
So, I sprayed down the action and the inside of the barrel with CLP and let that baby sit overnight. Then tonight I went up, took out a new Hoppes Tornado Bore brush and pushed it through.... I got a pile of pebbles on the rag at the other end of the barrel..... another pull, then a push and another pile of gray, scrabbles... like eraser leftovers. Two more swipes and no more garbage. I swapped it out a few times with a bore mop and then some patches. The bore is now mirror bright and no evidence of residue.
Action came total clean also.
CLP also clean the 18.5 inch cyl barrel I picked up today, one that was a leftover from a police purchase and had been sitting in storage for years. It had some surface rust that came right off with a pantyhose and CLP treetment.
I also cured cancer with it today and tomorrow I am going to tackle Global Warming.
It is the best cheap investment there is for gun maintenance.
