Follow Skeet's advice.
FWIW, you can use automotive parts cleaner as a first step to loosen up the crud.
I have used some- can't recall the name of it- it was a solution that you diluted with water, and then dropped the parts in. I used it on a Savage 99 that hadn't been cleaned since WW2, and was so gunked up with dried oil and dust the action would not open. It did help loosen all the crud up, so you could clean the rifle.
Do NOT put wooden parts in the solution- just metals.
