Polishing brass
I've used flitz and a microfiber cloth. Unfortunately I got swirls in the brass. I assuming that's probably normal. Have any of you found a way to remove the light scratches made from cleaning
Re: Polishing brass
I use the SS pins. I then let them dry 1 day then tumble in crushed walnut media with a little Nu-Finish wax. Brass comes out shinier than new brass

Re: Polishing brass
It may take a few attempts, but Flitz should eventually polish the scratches out. I think Flitz should be removed while it's still a bit wet for best results. Like you, I use a microfiber cloth to remove the Flitz and polish it, but I use a Q-Tip to apply it (which lets me avoid the screws so they don't lose their bluing). I usually do it in stages; first one side, then the other, then the top, then the bottom.rfkhunter wrote:I've used flitz and a microfiber cloth. Unfortunately I got swirls in the brass.

Re: Polishing brass
This video is on the HRA website too, but here's the brass when it's well used...I kinda like it....this is more what my Henry rifle will eventually look like.
