crovello Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 I have a gun that I have not used in years. It is SS but the finish is in poor shape. I use to use it for a carry gun and I guess it was not cleaned very well when it went in the safe about 7 year ago. The internals are very clean and the barrel is spotless. It is not an expensive gun and not worth spending much money fixing. It is a Fire Star 45ACP Is there any way to buff or clean it? Any products that I should try? I would send it out to be refinished but I don't think it is worth it. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crovello Posted March 7, 2005 Author Share Posted March 7, 2005 The pitting is not deep. I will take a pic this afternoon and try and post it. I have not posted a pic yet so it may take me a while. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crovello Posted March 7, 2005 Author Share Posted March 7, 2005 Benny Hill, where would I get that product that you mentioned??? Is this the gun smith benny hill, from Texas? If so you just did a trigger job on my friends gun. sweeeeet trigger. Sniper man, I checked out that web site. I may use them for my good guns but the cost to refinish may exceed the value of this gun. I would post a pic if I could figure out how. Where would I go to figure out how to do this?

Run n Gun Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 You would be AMAZED what you can do with 0000 steel wool, 600-grit wet and dry sand paper, Flitz polish and a felt wheel on your Dremel! Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSeevers Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I held back but since Benny let it slip, Steel Wool That's the best thing about SS. Screw it up and fix it real quick. Course you would be surprised what a TIG and a Bead Blast will do for regular steel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
