.357 inner load tube end plug removal

[GFK]

Thanks all for the reply. I was thinking of a thin oil like Rem-Oil and then wiping it down. I would not want to have oil in the magazine. Rem-Oil seems light and leaves little residue. My reasons for avoiding brass cleaners is based on my experience in the Navy and on things at home. Once a brass cleaner is used, the item seems to require continuous attention or turns to a very dark color.

Or course, it has been awhile since I used one. But, I have dresser that I polished some of its brass handles on about 25 years. The ones I did not touch (due to time) still looks good. The ones I did touch not so much. I notice the change about a week or so after cleaning them. I had a similar experience while in the Navy. Of course, cleaning brass can be a daily job in the Navy. So, one may not notice the fading until it has not done for awhile. But for $22, it doesn't seem like a big deal to replace the tube if I become dissatisfied with it. I plan to replace the handles on the dresser also. I just have not gotten around to it yet. Who knows, it may be a project for someone after me to take on.

After polishing brass wipe it down with a ph7 soap and it will look and stay looking new.
