<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lark, post: 7813244, member: 13605&quot;]We own a firearm business now for 9 years. A friend of mine does restore firearms. He has always said leave it alone. Do not redo the original finish. Black powder is corrosive but your pistol looks in pretty good shape so probably well taken care of. Hoppes is a gun cleaner . Guns should be cleaned before oiling&nbsp; with gun oil or else you simply trap corrosives under the oil. Look for any active rust spots. Inside and outside the barrel. A gun cleaning brush and/ or Frontier 45 pad ( looks like a scoring pad but secret formula that won&#039;t harm blueing. Hoppes won&#039;t harm the wood either&nbsp; . What ever you do ,do not use WD40 it does more harm than good. when handling your pistol it is not a bad idea to use cotton gloves. Oils and sweat from human hands can cause rust.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
