Gloss finished scope touch up?

AndABeer · February 22, 2002, 12:06 PM

Recently put an old scope on a Win M70. Rifle looks great, scope has seen better days but is still works very well. Is there a touch up pen available for glossy finishes? Glossy black model paint?

There is a pen made by one of the gun cleaning companies to touch up aluminum receivers (like 10/22's) that works great on scopes. Sorry I don't remember who makes it. You can also use a black marker but it tends to look purplish once applied.
