I hate having scratches on my guns.
When using a screw driver to adjust the rear sight on my revolver, I scratched the base and the adjustment screws.
I tried using cold bluing on the base and the screws, but it did nothing. I assume the reason why is because the rear sight is made of aluminum and not steel. If I'm not mistaken, blue doesn't work on aluminum.
I bought this gun because it looks great. It's a blued Ruger 4" GP100. I think it looks as good as the Smith & Wesson 19 or 586.
Because I like the way it looks, I want to keep it looking nice for a long time.
What the solution here? Replace the rear sight or just accept that the rear sight will always be scratched up?
I have a 3" stainless GP100 with fixed sights for beating up. It's also a fine revo
