If it's an Uberti, particularly if color-case-hardened, it's a really good idea to FIRST take it down to parade rest and strip-clean every metal part, wax under the butt plate, wax the tangs, and go over each piece with a shaving brush/oil. There is likely carbon packed in every crevice of the receiver and rust underneath that and the oil they dunk the parts in. The oil dunk after case hardening is probably the only lubrication the innards have had, and it's already been fired in the Italian proof house and boxed up dirty to be shipped across the Atlantic and transferred no telling how many times. The barrel probably still has bluing salts rusting away the corners of the grooves, so a good brushing and even steel-wooling of the bore may be in order.
