The action was stripped and all parts cleaned, de-greased and boiled-off.
Barrels were tig-welded to remove some small external pits,, which were unsightly.
Barrels then polished off and re-blacked.
Bores were mint, just had to use solvent to clean out old dirt and hardened grease.
Woodwork was stripped, papered and then oil finished with a Purdey 'slacum' oil and the chequer run through. Always get chequer professionally done - it is a total false economy to skimp on this and the easiest way to ruin a gun.
The pad is by Silver's.
I like surgical alcohol as a dirt and grease remover. There are other very good alternatives. At AGL, we used to use paint thinner, but the smell is awful.
