I'm not going for the patina look. Time is a precious commodity . I clean my weapon after each range visit but I can't find the time to polish my rifle.

Pretty much the same. I clean 'em aftar a range trip, but, don't polish the brass. Just a wipe down.JVogler wrote: ↑Sat Aug 06, 2022 9:14 pmI'm not going for the patina look. Time is a precious commodity . I clean my weapon after each range visit but I can't find the time to polish my rifle.

Re: Big Boy Classic, brass
I think my Golden Boy receiver cover has a clear coat finish on it. Can anyone confirm that they are sprayed with a clear coat finish. I found a few spots where it looks ands feels like it is breaking down.

Like that look. Gonna let my brass rifles go that way as well.Kissmybrass wrote: ↑Sat Aug 06, 2022 1:48 amLittle salt and vinegar and elbow grease got the aging started on my .357 "For a few dollars more" rifle
Can polish it all back to shiny but like it messy and didn't mess with the wood at all.

Re: Big Boy Classic, brass
I bought mine used and it already had/has a nice dull look.
I like it that way.

I don't think so, mine was made Oct. of '07 and has a nice dull look to it.pennsylvaniapete wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 10:50 pmI think my Golden Boy receiver cover has a clear coat finish on it.

Like old faded brass, and nothing peeling.
I have never seen or heard of anyone having any such issue.
It could be whatever solvents you are using that are naturally dulling it.
I bought mine used so I haven't a clue as to how long the shiny finish lasted, but
I like the dull patina, makes it look like an older rifle, and more of an old western look.
