I just bought a Glenfield Marlin 30A 30-30 with a 4x32 Marlin scope. I can't find much info on it and I did a search here and found nothing. How does it compare to other lever action 30-30s?
It is almost mint and I wonder if it has ever been shot. The feeding port on the side of the receiver doesn't even have a mark on it. Also there is a sitcker on the but pad and scope that would have worn off if it was shot much.
It was stored in the attic for many years and has a layer orange sooty dust that I have removed a little to see the true condition of the metal. I am looking to sell it because I have no real need for it. If anyone wants it and doesn't mind doing the clean up, let me know before I clean it up, otherwise I will clean it up and post it in the for sale section.
What is good for removing this sooty dust? I have been thinking about using WD-40 but I was wondering if windex or some other kitchen cleaner might cut the greasy dust better. I don't want to harm the wood or metal so tell me what is safe on bluing and wood. Thanks.
