A= little squirt of Ez-Off Oven cleaner contains lye and is much more= convenient. BTW, works very well

on front, rear and intermediate= housings to get off carbon and grease. Use protective gloves and= goggles

and rinse well after use and spray= with your favorite rust preventative.

>=A0For really stubborn lead removal try a= 50/50 mix of =A03% Hydrogen
>=A0Peroxide
>=A0(the common drug store variety) and= white vinegar. =A0Plug the bore,
>=A0fill it

>=A0(Do not

>=A0external finish as this solution is not= kind to bluing--so take
>=A0appropriate

>=A0and then immediately clean well with= bore cleaner.
