The quickest way to devalue a firearm is to remove the original finish.. The desiccant I agree with..Rubbing G-96 on it will remove the moisture..the mildew and restore the original patina..end of problem.. GADS!!! Sand paper..!! Those were the gloves they issued officers when they signed up..trying to keep them from abusing and amusing them selves..!! LOL..Gottcha..!! See you and Sally at Bobbee's.. Here is some thoughts on refinishing firearms.. removing any patine from the firearm defiantly reduces value. however a tear down to clean all the old oil and any build up from years of sitting wont drop value.i too have an old valuable rifle and had it cleaned but did not remove patina and it retained its value. i cant stress enough how important it is to leave things alone till you take it to a professional who knows what he/she is doing and take their advice. removing any patine from the firearm defiantly reduces value. however a tear down to clean all the old oil and any build up from years of sitting wont drop value.i too have an old valuable rifle and had it cleaned but did not remove patina and it retained its value.

One thing to remember that if these guns are old enough or have any original collector value at all, is not to try to strip them down and refinish them. You might end up with a nice looking gun, but it's value would be way down. You could ruin a valuable collector gun.
