Can anyone give some advice on how to clean and restore a 1875 Parker Brothers Double Barrel Shotgun? It has been in storage and needs some care. I don't want to use anything harsh on it. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

As far as cleaning solvents and gun oils, you can't go wrong with the Hoppe's line of chemicals.

For light rust removal, try Birchwood Casey BR1.

Thanks. I was leaning toward Hoppes before I asked, so thanks for the confirmation.
