Big Boy Classic, brass
Can someone tell me if a brass Big Boy rifle is hard to keep looking nice. And, what you do to keep it looking nice? I am looking at a H006, Big Boy Classic in .44 mag.

Brasso should do it; there are others out there that work, Flitz or something called that. I let mine[HOO6 .357] go to patina. Still looks good, just not super shiny.

Re: Big Boy Classic, brass
My 357 carbine still looks great after nearly six years. I just polish the brass now and then with brass polish, and wipe er down before putting it away. As stated above, some prefer to let the brass age naturally. Nothing wrong with that but the Marine in me demands polished brass trappings.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...

Well, I was in a LGS and saw a Henry Golden Boy on the shelf. It is a H004, .22 S/L/LR. It’s now in my possession.

Had my Big Boy Brass 357magnum for about 4years. I usually clean it after every range session. My brass has not been polished just wiped down after each cleaning. Brass still has a shine but is darkening up a little.

Re: Big Boy Classic, brass
Pretty much what I do. I like the patina look. I need to get it back out to the range.

Re: Big Boy Classic, brass
Little 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.
