[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 3698723, member: 45773"] I just cleaned a S&W Chief's Special that probably hasn't been cleaned since the 60s. It was very gummed up inside. It belonged to my wife's father and it had been sitting in a storage container for years. It was gummed up to the point of being locked up and I couldn't get the side-plate off. I dropped it into the ultrasonic cleaner with a little extra cleaning solution...ran it thru two cycles. Used some shop air to blow out the insides. Sprayed some Barricade inside and put it back together. Good as new and I never did take the side-plate off. If you have access to an ultrasonic cleaner somewhere that might help you out. They've worked wonders for me on various guns and gun parts. [/QUOTE]
