My good friend's father in law presented me with an old revolver he found while cleaning out his late father in law's (who was a complete bad a$$ that was in WWII, an engineer, and was a post depression pack rat = cool stuff) estate. This revolver is currently not functioning and knowing that I've built AR's and liked to tinker - he gave it to me to take a look at or find a smith. I'd like to clean it up a bit before I start taking it apart and I was planning on giving it a bath in the anti-carbon cleaning mixture I found listed here. Odorless mineral spirits and CLP.
MY QUESTION: the gun is chromed, will an overnight bath in the mixture (the mineral spirits) have any adverse affect on this finish? That question immediately popped into my mind and I wanted to be sure first. Thanks. ***I will take pictures as I go and post a thread later*** |
