Yes. Then when they are clean and dry, Armor-All will restore the shine. |

| I'm not sure if it's mold, or oxidation from age. (The Crosman site shows the dates of manufacture from 1958-1968.) The same kind of thing happens to synthetic polymers on automobiles, only quicker. Exposure to the sun causes them to get dull. Anyway, even if it's not the plague bleach can't hurt. |
