Maintaining the "new look"
Ok how on the hell do you clean this finish on my ml? It gets stains sometimes and regular oil and cleaners don't clean it. I'm told there's a cleaner for the coating on my ml.

Re: Maintaining the
Is it nickle plating, or stainless?

It's dull. So I think nickel. Not sure. It's a Cva optima.

Re: Maintaining the
It's probably stainless, with a matte finish

Re: Maintaining the
nickel is a good hard finish, but too expensive for normal production guns. it looks like you have 2 different finishes there. the matte stainless is that way on purpose. a stainless metal polish will clean it but it's never gonna be bright and shiny unless you have it totally re-polished and buffed out. the lower/darker I can't tell whether it's blued, powder coated or what. is that where your having the problem, or on the stainless. I just picked up 2 used sigs, an alloy nickel plated 220 and a stainless nickel plated 239 in 40 cal. the previous owner was obviously into nickel and must have spent some serious coin getting them plated. imo nickel plating stainless is a little overkill, but i'm not complaining.

Re: Maintaining the
The Optimas have a stainless barrel. I can't see what you are talking about in the picture.
Re: Maintaining the
I have the same gun.
After shooting it I take it all apart, clean with TC Muzzle Loader Cleaner #13 and pressure hose in the back yard. Use 90% Isopropyl Alcohol to dry out the water. Lube with Break Free CLP, inside and out.....
Worried about oil in the bore? (before you load and shoot) Patch the bore with alcohol or xylene ..... then patch it dry.

Re: Maintaining the
to remove oil from a clean mzl, run a bore snake or couple of patches, then pop a primer cap or 2 and the bbl will be dry/clear and fouled so you don't get that clean bbl 1st shot.
