What is Flitz?

Jim

Hey Jim,

Flitz is a fine metal polish paste made in Germany, good gun shops would have it. Doesn't scratch metal surfaces but leaves them slick as hell. You would like it. You can even use it on blued surfaces but that is a choice left to the user.

Think I tried it on an M1917 S&W. Very clean revolver, no visible rust. Some came off, microscopic bits I guess.

You can even use it to polish a bore. Say for instance you have a rifle with a fine bore and Hoppe's soaked patches come out perfectly clean. Run a few patches with Flitz on them through and more junk will come out.

I bought a five and a half oz. tube off the net. That will last for years. Doesn't take but a dab to do the work.

I'd try your stoning, but am happy with my triggers.

Thanks for more dangerous stories. Lessons well learned and nobody kilt.

I do have a rifle with a freaky trigger pull. A nice Finnish M28. Bubba or some Finnish soldier took the second stage out. Not dangerous but have to remember that if I take it to the range. Very smooth, but it just pulls back and trips the sear. Favored rifle of the worlds highest scoring sniper, Finn Simo Hayha (sic?), supposedly over five hundred kills. Five foot tall, only shot with iron sights and killed hell outa' the Soviets during the Finnish/Soviet war from 1939-1944. He was only in action for three months or so.
