I recently found 2 old Ithaca m37's in a storage container my mother in law owned. They belonged to her late husband, he has left us all quite the collection of firearms. So far we've got a Colt AR-15 sp1 s/n in the first 1500~ released that has never been fired. A m1903 with m82 scope. A m1 Garand. A U.S. Marshal engraved Colt SAA and a bunch of other little things. So far everything has been cleaned except the shotguns. They are as follows.
1) 12ga. Police Special
2) 16ga 26-28"?
Both are in very rough shape. They have a LOT of surface rust. Is it possible to just take the wood off them and let them sit in something like diesel to wear the rust off? The action on the police special is incredibly smooth still, I'd like to get it back to working order and looking as nice as it can.
