Some advocate Frontier Pads. I've tried them, and still prefer burgundy colour Scotch Brite available from most well-stocked hardwares. Wet this in Hoppe's No. 9, scrub, wipe off the crud, then allow to "age" for 24-48 hrs. The metal looks clean, yet still old with a soft patina that still includes some of the darker original colours.

In my HO, definitely use the Frontier Pad with Hoppe's No. 9
Soak the frame in the Hoppe's allowing the crud to soak it in then use the Frontier Pad on it. The Frontier Pad will not harm case color or bluing... while other abrasives might. |

The green scotchbrite has very fine silica imbedded in it from what I can tell and will scratch ANYTHING you scrub with it. I sure will scratch the hell out of glass.

This may be a bit late, but....use Hoppe's No. 9, bronze wool and brass brushes/scrapers. You will not cause any harm to the metal or any remaining original finish/patina. My budget usually does not allow the purchase of top-end firearms, so I have 30+ years of experience cleaning well used antiques! It is truly amazing what you may find under a thick layer of 'patina' (a much abused term in the gun trade). Good Luck!

Call for the quantity price. I'll bet you will order a dozen. I did and sold to buddies that had never seen these and before they screwed up their guns removing rusty spots. |

if you like your Frontier Pad, you can keep it.
I've tried them. There's better stuff, cheaper. Just my view... |
