Baby Browning safe queen restore
My mother has a baby Browning that has been in the safe for as long as she can remember and has no idea even when the last time was it went bang. The problem is the slide is stuck and there is still a round in the chamber so cannot fiddle too much and with the FA being particularly small getting a good grip is difficult. I've sprayed with Trisol and Q20 and left it lying in the spray and respraying everyday for a week with no luck. Any advice on how to get it loosened up a bit? Bearing in mind that a round is chambered. Is there some liquid mixture i can leave it lying in for a while?
Thanks in advance.

Drop it into a container full of paraffin. Leave it for a week or two.

Thanks WZ. Will give that a go and see if I have success in restoring it. It was my great grandmother's so would like to keep it.

Brake fluid may work too.

Re: Baby Browning safe queen restore
Are you pulling slide back to open it? You need to hold slide and hit the grip with the palm of your other hand.
That gives much more force then holding grip and trying to pull back slide.
To strip the Baby you need to get slide back and turn barrel upside down.
Make sure barrel has not turned and causing slide to be stuck.
Make sure safety is down.

Will try brake fluid if I don't come right with the paraffin.
