Hello, I was removing a front sight from a Kimber 1911 the other day with a brass punch. Long story short, the brass slipped after impact from hammer and left a small brass streak on top of slide. I have rubbed and rubbed but can't get it off. Does anyone have any suggestions???? Thanks in advance
Gunsmithing Best way to remove brass scratch on 1911 slide?

What finish does the Kimber have? Parkerized? Stainless? Cerakote? Melonite? Hard Hat? NP3? Other PVD coating?
I use Breakfree or G96. Seems to take most of the brass color off but looking closely there are some tiny little divots. It doesn't worry me. Battle scars...the girls love'em
You could have a gunsmith adjust extractor and/or ejector to minimize it I would think. HTH, Preston

Try copper disolving bore cleaner. And fine steel wool. This works for brass kisses on the FAL rifle.
Next time take a pencil and color it in before taking a brass punch to it.
It will keep it from getting marked up.

Thanks guys. The slide has a blued finish, gloss on the flates, matte finish on the top. I tried putting alittle Kroil on it but going to try again with a litlle 0000 steel wool
Why is this not gunsmith related please tell. It has to with a handguns finish and fixing it.
