I have an LEC 1 which is lovely in every respect except that some of the parts [magazine, nosecap, barrel band] have for no obvious reason been polished and deeply re-blued. Nicely done in a blueing tank... but all the other metal parts show the usual aged appearance of a well-used 120 yr old rifle, and the wood has a lived-in appearance, too.
The re-blued parts look, frankly, like balls on a bulldog.
So, my question is whether there is some chemical I could dab on a piece of flannel and gently rub away at the high spots and/or edges of the re-blued parts so they look slightly more worn-in? Would phosphoric acid [coca-cola], vinegar, barrel browning solution, etc do the trick?
I look fw to suggestions.
