HotShot! Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Evening all Have a Beretta Diamond Pigeon and it has a bit of tarnish on the engraving and a few rust spots on the trigger guard. Does anyone know how to remove these and make the engraving shiny again Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzypigeon Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 I would say elbow grease n a soft brush, a little gun oil too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1steele Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 A little gun oil and a nearly worn out green scouring pad. Go easy on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunman Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Various methods ,all can work but best if gun is fully stripped and lacquered when done . If the guard is blacked then reblacking is the only really successful way of permanently treating it . Personally I always strip the gun degrease all parts then lightly brush with appropriate polishing compounds . If the rust is eaten in then it may have to be treated with an acid pickle to get it all out . Be warned if it has "gold inlay" this is usually just a plating and will disappear if not careful.

bostonmick Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 It is important to get the rust sorted the tarnish on the side plates should polish out but it's more important to identify why it got to rust and ensure it does not happen again.if it was down to a damp cabinet might be worth getting the gun stripped and cleaned as the inside may be affected.
