Flitz makes a gun cleaner and polishing kit. Got it on Amazon. Came with wax, polish and cleaner. My 357 shines beautifully!

I asked Henry and their reply was this:

"Thank you for owning a Henry. The pores of the wood are sealed and therefore, it’s not necessary to use anything but if you must, Pledge would be a good choice. You can use any factory loaded .357 magnum ammo in the rifle.

Flitz(or similar) is for brass components only and blued steel surfaces can be cleaned with Hoppes, followed by a light coat of gun oil."

That's a nice response, but only for the outside :?
I worked the action on my 44, wiped off the bolt and put on a light coat of choke grease and a few drops off Hoppe's 9 in the receiver & barrel.
About 400 or so through er and 0 issues !!
CHOOT IT !!
