Finally got some time off to go the gun I won on Gunbroker. Here's a couple of pics as is. I will clean it up and get some better pics...the bluing is very deep.

Beautiful 
and another rare shroud design, plus the non-fluted cylinder very uncommon on a .41

That's the second FB that's gotten snaked right out of my backyard, I need to pay closer attention.
You are the .41 Mag Guru!
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

To quote Supermagfan:

drumroll………."
Soon...very soon. 
Actually, I plan to shoot it this Friday at our silhouette practice day.
As far as my cleanup process goes, I start by cleaning the barrel and cylinder to get all the old shooting residue out. You would be surprised how dirty some guns are that you get from the auction sites, or from other owners as well. This one wasn't too bad...don't think it has been shot much. There was a lot of leather shreds all over the gun (it came in a holster). After brushing all that away, then the grip was removed.
Most guns come with some oil or grease on the outside. I use Gunscrubber to completely remove all the oil. Then I get out the Flitz and start polishing the entire gun with it. Usually, the Flitz rag looks like a rust-bucket when I am through. Even though you can't see it, there is a fine surface rust all over the guns. I do the area hidden by the grip ( I also remove the stocks from rifles for this). The guns look pretty nice after the Flitz treatment. You can also use Mothers products, they work very well. I usually don't wax my guns, but wipe them down after use with a silicon cloth.

Thanks for the tip on Flitz Dean,
Which is better, the paste in the tube or the liquid in the bottle ?

Don't know about better, since I've never tried the liquid, but while using the paste, I never wondered "Why don't they make this a liquid?"

That is one very cool Dan Wesson! I think (I might be wrong) is the first one of those we've seen in captivity!

And so far, I've only used the liquid.
Although, I mainly use Flitz on my stainless stuff (it's a wonder on stainless), my blued guns get Mother's wax.

Yep, I am majorly disappointed. Seems like forever before my next opportunity. Maybe I will go Flitz it again.

I did a second round of Flitzing the gun today. It really looks good now.
Remember those ancestors you used to see in the bluing? Well, I can see THEIR ancestors.
