I recently acquired a percussion muzzloading rifle from the early era of percussion rifles, est 1835 or possibly an earlier flinter converted.
It is dirty and needs some repairs to be a good wallhanger.
The stock is full to the muzzle and tiger striped with a small downward curve in the butt.
Any suggestions on how to clean the stock without damaging the finish or patina of age. Also the brass patchbox is damaged & needs repairs.
Any suggestions on how to clean the lockwork of surface rust and much dirt?
TIA
