How to cover scratches?

[trigger643]

Received a little 2nd hand .22 for Christmas. It's covered in scratches. Some appear too deep to buff out...

I'm sure that'll buff right out.



Real Nice!

It could just be me but I think I see a pattern to those scratches. I think I see some images in them.

Looks like Mormon dogs killing christian ducks to me.

Come by the house and you can use my grinder to clean that up. But if you don't like power tools, I have a file or two.

Just Cerakote over them. It'll look good as new...


**yes, dripping with sarcasm**

Find someone that does engraving . They probably have to fix the occasional boo-boo and will know what to do about it .

Sweet Browning SA-22. Is that a grade 3? I have a pristine grade 2 that my dad gave me 20 years ago. Thanks dad!

I would just clean it and leave it as is. And thank the person that gave it to you.

Sweet Browning SA-22. Is that a grade 3?

Yes, it's a grade III, circa 1957. My brother found 2 of these in a Colorado gunshop on consignment priced as used modern grade II. Both had been shot, no cases. This one is unsigned, the other is signed Angelo Bee.

This one is the unsigned one and the worst of the 2, at about 95%+.

These old Mormon / Belgians can get kind of pricey:

... As these scratches are deep, I'm thinking spackle and rustoleum ...
