I unexpectedly picked up a 4" 29-2 Nickel made in 1980 (at least per the serial number). The gun was in a batch of confiscated guns by the sheriff, and it is in reasonably good shape. I haven't seen a nickle 4" model before so I decided to pick it up. Unfortunately the criminal who had the gun previously didn't take great care of it, and I need to clean it up.
I have used CLP on my blue and stainless guns. Is it okay to use on the nickle finish? I also have to clean up the forcing cone, and I know the polishing cloth for stainless will damage blued guns. Can I use it on nickle without any damage?
The grips are marked up as well, but I think I might be able to clean them up. Any suggestions on how to clean the wood grips? I attached some pictures of some of the problems.
Thank you.
