Hi Mel

Yes, that's all you really need in this case. Some oooo steel wool and oil - and a few shop towels LOL And taking the lock and barrel off for cleaning will make the job easier and a better outcome. Don't forget to post "after" photos.

Hi Rick, It may be a while before I get this project started, there's a bit of a queue at the moment. Just to keep you interested, I've included a before and after of a rather nice Moroccan snaphaunce that I found a while since.

Hi Mel

Ohhh.....nice clean up on that Moroccan lock. You just never know what you will find underneath rust. LOL

Thanks Rick. Even though this is something of a departure from my usual European collecting habits. I'm pleased with it. I have another snaphaunce from the same source that's included in the aforementioned queue, it has an interesting Five Foot Four Inch (162cm) barrel.
