Well, your favorite oil may be OK.
ATF is a cleaner, also. Let it soak for a few days.

Hi James,
Thanks for your suggestion. I have (I think) cleaned the steel/iron as far as I want to go without losing the patina. I had not thought of auto transmission fluid as a "solvent" but a good idea. I will try that on the other gun when I get to it.
I ALWAYS use brass/bronze brushes as they are of course softer metal than steel and do not scratch.
