Hey Guys, I haven't on in awhile. Hope all is well.

Here's my "Dumb ?" What is the white stuff that is used to highlight the number & markerings on a firearm?

Brownells sells it as well http://www.brownells.com/aspx/...&title=LACQUER-STIK~

If you don't want to but the lacquer sticks, some people use Liquid Paper and even white crayon. Just filling the the stampings and wipe off the excess.

Any 'art ' store will sell, 'GREASE STICK' about 59c - 79c.

Thanks Guys!

Best, Johnny

Antique firearms dealers and sellers for many years used just plain baby powder to highlight the markings on quality firearms they were photographing.
It's cheap, a small bottle lasts a lifetime, and it it completely removable with NO damage to your valuable firearm.
Never tried the lacquer stick, lacquer is kind of permanent.
