Getting my Great Grandpa's old Revelation 12 Gauge Pump, from what I've seen it's a Mossberg 500 sold under Western Auto's brand name. It cycles smoothly and loads smoothly, Im new to Pump guns, so any advice about maintenance and cleaning it up will be appreciated, It has a bit of rust on the barrel but I honestly think most of it is just caked on dirt and dust, so cleaning the metal parts off with water and a toothbrush will be the first step, then I will dry the metal metal parts and oil them well so they don't rust, then I will work on removing any rust with 0000 Steel wool and gun oil. The only thing that worries me is there is electrical tape on the middle of the pistol grip, and I am worried a crack is underneath, although I haven't taken the tape off, so it could have just been for extra grip. But if the stock is cracked, what would be the best course of action? As I don't want to leave the tape on there. Assuming it isn't cracked, what would be the best way to clean the wood off without removing finish?
Thanks for any other tips and advice you may have.
