Thanks! Thanks so much for the advice! I don't know where I would have gotten it otherwise! So glad I found your forum! I just purchased my first GEW 98 on Gunbroker a few days ago, a 1917 DWM, and it is going to take a lot of effort. It was "duffle cut," I presume by the GI who brought it...

Regarding cleaning process... Great job! You mentioned "gently" cleaning the metal and stock. Can you be more specific about your process, materials used, and common mistakes to avoid? As you might guess, I'm new to this! Thanks, and congrats on such a fine and significant rifle!
