Cleaning a nickle finished gun

Recommended Posts

Should I be careful to avoid certain cleaning solvents on a Nickle Colt Python? I have heard that Hoppes is OK in the bore only. What would be safe to use on the rest of the gun? Is a lead removing cloth something that may hurt the finish as well. The Gun was manufactured in 1978, and appears to be a bright nickel finish. No box, but I believe stainless came later around 1982?

Thanks.

Now i am not sure if it would be different, But I always use some Mothers Mag polish on my stainless guns when I am done cleaning, I apply it with an old rag and wipe off with a white T shirt I don't need anymore. Always gives a very nice shine, But it may be different with a nickel finish.

      For sale is an Original Colt 601 Slick side upper. It has the original rear sight, ejection door, feed ramp and barrel nut. This upper has the larger diameter take down pin in the front so I will include the bushing to make it work on current lower receivers. Also included is a Nodak Spud Repro small triangle charging handle, it was $50 new but no longer available. Cost of upper includes shipping. These uppers on Gun Broker are $550 and do not include the charging handle. $400 OBO!
      Ejection port cover is from a colt 607

    • I've watched a lot of "Mighty Ships" series on TV, as well as cruise ship series. It seems prevalent for large ships to have GPS tracking, and possibly guidance. So the path of this ship should be on record somewhere. And one critical fact would be whether or not as the ship approached the bridge it followed the correct path in the harbor channel. The conspiracy aspect would ask was  one of the electronic guidance/navigation systems hacked to put it on a collision course? I'm not anxious to find a terrorist attack. But if you'd asked me on September 10, 2001 what were the odds of four hijacked aircraft being successfully flown by amateurs into three iconic American structures... I will say there's not a doubt in my mind there are nasty people that crossed the border to cause trouble. I just can't be certain how, and how much.
    • It's been reported now that there were two harbor pilots on board and 21 crewmen. The article mentions that there were no cars on the bridge when it collapsed.   Actually, divers found two people trapped in their car.  They were recovered Tuesday afternoon.
