I'm new to this forum so I appologize if this is in the wrong place.
I have a number of old rifles and shotguns that belonged to my grandfathers. As an avid hunter when I was a kid, I shot most of them and lightly cleaned them periodically over the years. As an adult, I've moved around and subsequently negelected them.
As a result, two of my single shot shotguns are a little gummed up from what appears to be old yellowed hoppes oil. The lever to break the barrel open is gummed up as well as the triggers. I've heard that you can use lighter fluid to remove this, followed by a new lube (I just purchased some hoppes elite products).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Scott
