So I want to try my hand with some extreme disassembly and cleaning a couple of less valuable rifles I have to better prepare me to care for the expensive stuff in the safe. An Enfield and a Turk Mauser are my guinea pigs but still want to stay true to form and respect them. As I set here with a rem oil rag and bolt in hand, I think how clean can I get this bolt, or how clean SHOULD I get it? Surely some 0000 steel wool and flitz would work better but then am I erasing character at the same time?
I know any additional oil on a stock is a no no but what about a coat of wax just to protect it? I have dealt with a couple of you over the past year or two so there’s a reason I’m looking to you and your experience as opposed to the Google machine to learn how to be a proper custodian of historical items and be able to pass on the knowledge.
thank you in advance.
