A family members father in law passed away and he had a gun cabinet in a damp basement. Family wants nothing to do with gunz ( They have no clue of value) I pulled out two wartime m1 carbines, four 1903 Springfield rifles with some mold on wood and leather slings and some minor corrosion. Looked at one bore and it was dark but had excellent rifling. I rescued these and intend to remove mold, clean,oil and try to stop further deterioration. There are other rifles,shotguns,bayonets, knives i had to leave behind for now.
I am looking for advise on removng the mold from leather and wood without damaging the finish.
I would like to rescue all of these as I fear they might be turned in for a $25 gift card.
