    Cleaning no4 mk2 Enfiled metalwork

    I need to clean up my metal work as its a bit grotty. What would be the best way to clean off crud etc with minimal or no damage to the finish?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    If you do a complete strip and clean, you could use varsol or paint thinner and fine steel wool to remove hard deposits or a nylon scrub brush. Paint brushes and tooth brushes were also a favorite for in the bath and they take off dust from dry firearms too. You can apply oil after with them...
