old gun cleaning

Had to put my .02 in. I have a few old guns in my collection ( WWII lee enfield and mauser) While I love to use remington oil for a refurbishing oil, Hoppes is probably the best. I would also take a good look at the barrel. If large pitting is noticable it may be unsafe to fire. If there is fine pitting and you are not going to use it as a show gun but rather a hunting rifle instead of a bore brush there is a simialar brush called the tornado, found in walmart, that did the trick.
