Maybe some scotch brite. It looks like it's going to be a lot of work. I'd just tell them they're getting it like that. |

I think Flitz makes a cleaner polish just for stainless, could test it on the bottom of the barrel

Most of my work or match guns are stainless because of lower mantenance . At one time I had too many guns , did a ton of reloading and built 90% of my match guns and didn't have alot of time for mantenance on guns I didn't shoot .

September 26th was the last day someone posted. Guess we need to start cleaning our guns more often.
