Cleaning the Eclectic?

[Daniel Cary]

Posted under doubles due to the cost of these. "Does anyone use or prefer a product to clean the Outside/Barreling, Stock, short of a soft cloth"??? Just looking for a safe cleaner or polish...

Many Thanks, as always AH.
Regards, Dan.

For stock, i use ordinary wood polish in spray, used for polishing the furniture.

For my Verney I also used ordinary spray-on furniture wax, is seems to not only shine but somehow leave a hard finish like London guns seem to have. For the metal work you can use the same, it gives a waterproof sheen.
On my top air rifles I have always used a little boiled linseed oil and then an oily cloth for the metal. Now I see how well the furniture polish does I may swing to that on everything.

Excellent, Thank You!

Some people have suggested or use those "Rem-Oil" cloths around here, but I have no idea if those are wise to use on the wood/barreling???

If you can get it use some renaissance wax. This stuff makes a gun look amazing and protect it

I also use it on my gun that I take waterfowling and it seems to keep the salt water away

Furniture polish sounds great but it seems you would have to degrease the metal before using or it wouldn't stick.
