    keeping my 61 Springfield shiney

    Thanks for the replies, I think I will try the brick dust and oil. In addition I am going to get a canvas gun case to put it in while in camp. It gets rusty over night with the dew settling on it. :v Yellowhammer

    Cleaning Solution

    I had been using warm water to clean my M61 Springfield, but the other reenactors in my unit use Murphy's oil soap, alcohol, and peroxide.
