What do you think I should use to clean this s/s gun ????

Its the dull type finish , but it has a 10 year coat of yellowish tarnish on it.

Its going to g/broker to fund a 338 ruger 77..

Its a Winchester model 70 stainless classic in 338.

Maybe some scotch brite. It looks like it's going to be a lot of work. I'd just tell them they're getting it like that.

...try some pure ammonia and fine steel wool...brush on the ammonia and let set 5 min then steel wool it and wipe it with a wet rag....

And don't inhale it.

I think Flitz makes a cleaner polish just for stainless, could test it on the bottom of the barrel

...Flitz trumps ammonia any day...
