My dad just gave me a Hawes .22 Single Action revolver that has been sitting in his safe for as long as I can remember. It has some very ugly oxidation all over the main frame of the revolver. This particular gun has two cylinders, one for .22 LR and the other for .22 Mag. I am wanting to clean it up. Can I remove the oxidation without affecting the finish? Or will I have to somehow strip it down below the finish and refinish it? Any info or help is greatly appreciated.
