Use Autosol on the rail but just wipe the hammer, it's oil impregnated on the inner face.

By 'oil impregnated' I mean it's an oil absorbent phosphor bronze or similar, it is designed to leach oil out over a period of time. No doubt somebody will know exactly what to do with it, but don't bother polishing it. My hammer rail had a few spots of corrosion on it, the gun is 3 years old so that tells me my hammer oil store may be dry. When I return from my holiday I will strip it down to check again and maybe apply a spot of light oil to the hammer.
