“When linseed oil oxidizes, its molecules cross-link with one another, making it increasingly more difficult to remove as time passes.”

This means that to get the results you see on your pistols needed a very long time. So cleaning needs the same time too. So you can try to put all metal items in turpentine at least four or five weeks and see afterwards what has happened.
