Remove difficult pitting suggestions

[Hawthorn1213]

Hey,

Does anyone have any suggestions on removing pitting from this area on a CVA Derringer? The shape makes it really akward to get any kind of file or sand paper on it. What kind of pitting (if any) is acceptable if I'll be finishing with LMF?

Why do you care? Seems it was neglected a bit in the past, but really won’t effect the way it functions.

If the metal is pitted, the only way to remove the pits would be to remove metal. Could use a scotch brite pad and a bit of elbow grease to clean the pits, but they would still remain.
Not the end of the world though. Just wasn't cared for proper.

I don't believe these small pits will be an issue, after you put the LMF on and brown the area I doubt if they will even show.

Once you brown it & install the nipple you won't even see the pitting. Non-issue!

could be done with a Dremel using hard rubber disk and polishing compound, if you have a steady hand.
thread a socket screw into the nipple port and polish away.
OR as others say ignore it and finish.

Is it pitting from black powder/caps or is it casting pits that was not machined? I would not worry about it.

Dremels, life savers or destroyers?

A cloth with lemon oil dipped in rotten stone will enable you to get into the recess. Rinse completely.

Yeah. Sometimes,, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Install a flash cup and you will not see the pitting. The come in brass or german silver.
