Cleaning adhesive residue off a Beretta 92FS INOX
All,
It's been a while since I bought any new guns, but since my 30th birthday is coming up, I bought myself an early present: An Italian-made Beretta 92FS INOX, vintage 1994. I would like to post pics, but before I do, I need to remove some adhesive residue that was left on the back of the grip by electrical tape that the previous owner put on it. It's been so long since I've had any stainless guns in my possession (I never shot, ergo, never cleaned my S&W 4506 or Mossberg 500 Mariner) that I'm getting rusty on the best stainless cleaners. Anyone have suggestions? |
Have you tried WD40? I use it all the time to get the sticky residue from labels off of different metals and glass.

Anyway, I found something else, based on another recommendation. I managed to get most of the residue off, will go back and do some more in a bit. Then I'll post pics. |

Remoil and a soft rag have always worked for me, got all the powder burns off my 686 and 4506; it just takes a bit of elbow grease

It might just be one of those myths but people have told me in the past that WD40 will remove bluing in the same way that it will remove rust. I'm not sure this is true though, as I think that if a gunsmith blues a gun the first thing they do is dump it into a tank of WD40 to displace the water from the bluing solution so it cant be that harmful. |
