I'm not talking about the metal. I'm talking about the wood. the top 1/16th inch or so on many old rifles is a solid mass of oil, dust, and other debris on just about any nasty old rifle I've seen. 800 grit is quite a bit less than most around recommend. just my input. not like I'm an authority in old guns or anything. personally I've never had much luck with soap and water on wood.
