Thank yall for the responses, I also decided to do a quick google search after the photo was posted. Found them on Amazon, I guess they are still made? Looks like they are vintage as you can buy them on ebay in their original vintage package.


How good are these things really? Like no bullshit pretty useful or?

I have used a lot of dif stuff to clean up guns, knives, guitars, lexan and plexiglass.

This is superior and not messy at all.
May turn your fingers green but that temporary

Yes, it's abrasive like lapping compounds.

You can take a 1982 penny or older and gently rub that rust off the barrel since there is no finish
Do it gently and be patient.

Don't use a newer penny than 1982 as those contain zinc which will scratch it up.
Don't use water pipe copper either as it's not all copper these days.

Also, Never dull is safer than mothers in my experience.
Mother's will remove blueing so keep that in mind as well.

gotcha, yeah I just used it on the barrel, was just trying to brighten it back up. Guess the magic cloth would be your recommendation for polishing gun metal? I have used MAG in the past and haven't noticed any issues.. I used it on my 686 SW revolver and got it brightened up pretty good

I use to use oil and pennies to remove freckling from blueing but you have to be very gentle and patient.
Use a soft clean cloth often to wipe gunk off as you go and fresh oil with the penny so you are not rubbing it with contaminants that also scratch.
Rust scale is very abrasive so keep that in mind.
Keep everything clean

One trick with a penny is you can hammer it to the shape of what you are working with but DONT hammer it around the part itself. That can ding your part.
I use something shaped like what I need like a steel rod or tip of an anvel or hand dolly, what ever you have around

I've been using those miracle cloths for the last 5 or 6 years since shmitzoid turned me on to those.
Much safer and does a better job but a penny is the old school way a lot of gunsmiths use.
