I have an Swedish m96 with target aperture sight. I purchased an old 2 piece sling target type leather sling. The leather is worn but solid. The brass parts all have a waxy green muck. I like to clean, (not polish) the brass and then apply something like Mink Oil to the leather.
The questions are how to safety dissolve the green crap off the brass. A lot of that stuff is stuck down between the folds and stitching of the leather. The brass is clean under neath that stuff. I dont want to to experiment with solvents and end up damaging the leather. How to clean that out?
Then best way to restore and preserve the leather. "Best" being the operative word.
Thanks in advance,
