[QUOTE="steelfingers, post: 3037389, member: 38658"] Stopped by the place, that has the Gold Cup, at lunch. Owner was not familiar with the 1911's and had asked about cleaning it so I decided to show him by doing it myself. Gun (probably) not cleaned since it was bought. Broke it down and wow. What a mess. Besides the amount of carbon everywhere, the factory grease in the barrel cap was so gummed up, it took some time to get the recoil spring out. After a lot of ballistol, Qtips, patches and so on, it looks great. Barrel looks pristine . Was able to get almost all the gunk off the frame and slide as well as the mag well. Shiney as a new penny now, and action is smooth as a baby's butt. Owner is taking it out to shoot this weekend and thinks he'll just keep it. Nice to see it back in shape. [/QUOTE]
