brasso wont get paint overspray off, it is a metal polish  . yes you can use it, but if you have the abilty to get onto military bases, go into the PX and pck up somehting called "maas" it cmes in a little silver tube. nothing beats it.

Do you mean to clean it up and give it a shine? If so brasso may work but its like a fingerprint magnet. I used turtlewax on my gun before and it worked pretty good, just be sure to wipe it all off or it turns green and crusts up. ------------- "Killing is my business...and business is good." |

Just don't over do it on the steel wool. You can use sand paper if you prefer, but i find steel wool to be better and easier to use. Just use it lightly to take off scratches and rough parts. Be careful using on the inside of the body; if you take off too much metal the bolt might not seal correctly. If possible use a dremel [with polishing wheel] to polish the internals with 'Mother's Mag and Aluminum Polish.' It helps a lot. Here are some sites on polishing internals http://www.model98.net/mod3.html - http://www.model98.net/mod3.html http://www.ottersccustoms.com/polishing.html - http://www.ottersccustoms.com/polishing.html (The do not sand inside of body warning is more applicable to Spyders because of how they are made, just use common sense.) |

I agree with everything but one thing. There isn't much of a seal created on the inside of the gun. The rear bolt o-ring seals MOSTLY on the inside of the powertube, and not really on the body of the gun. |
