Removing tobacco residue from guns
Posted: Mon Feb 26, 2024 12:43 am
I have a couple of guns which lived in a smoker's home for many years, and have a layer of tobacco smoke residue clinging to the wood and metal parts.
One is a mediocre trapdoor, but with usage history, the other is a newer gun, and pretty pricey.
Any suggestions on how to remove that?
I am especially concerned about any process that might include caustic or acid stuff that will harm the blue finish on the metal.
Has anyone had any experience with this problem, and what worked, or did NOT work?
Thanks.
