Clean Chamber on Relic?

[RBK]

I have a nice old L.C. Smith that I really don't intend to shoot. Only thing is there is mild corrosion in both [side by side] chambers. Should I remove this or, keep it as it for origional sake?

I'd clean it out as the corrosion will keep spreading unless cleaned. Just don't overclean, in other words don't rub out any markings.

Yes, I'd clean it out too. On the chambers, I'd opt for some chemical cleaner like naval jelly on a Q-Tip. Make sure you don't get any on the outside of the gun and clean up good afterward. Naval Jelly does a good job of removing rust, bluing, and skin too! It's simply a phosphoric acid product. Will eat Aluminum, I'm told.
