question concerning a brass brush. and 45 frontier
Hey all,
Quick question I left some scratches in some Bluing using a brass brush that I had clipped shorterrgis surprised me felt horrible. Now I find out that some brass brushes can have steel cores? And clipping them exposes the steel? Could anyone post an image if a bronze brush (no steel) looks like compared to the one with steel? Is really appreciate it. So I know what to look for Is 45 frontier worth ordering?

Why was you using a brass brush on blueing? Its for bore cleaning and the nylon brushes are for gleaning the out side .

It's to remove rust from Bluing.

What color are the scratches? Silver, or gold?
If gold, it's simply residual brass from the brush. Using a bore solvent on them should remove them. Very few, if any, bore brushes are brass plated steel, to my knowledge. |

Try 000 steelwool soaked in breakfree, its easier on the blueing than a wire brush.a lot of cheaper brushes are coated rather than solid.
