what do you all use..?

I dunno if this is the right place to post this, but I have 3 stainless rifles and sometimes the finish on the barrel gets scuffed or dirty from hunting, whats the best way to clean it up without hurting the finish???

Good question. I'd like to know too. I never try to clean mine up on the outside much, just a wipe over with WD40.

I've had two Brownings and one Remington with stainless actions and barrels. I've never done anything other than soak a patch with Hoppe's and rub them down. Seems to get rid of 90% of all marks.

Mothers polish.

4 O steel wool and lots of rem oil.
The folks on the S&W forum say that its good for minor surface rust on blued guns as well.
If it were me, I'd remove the barrel from the stock and try this on a part of the barrel than can't be seen to make sure it doesn't do something you don't want.

Fine emory cloth works pretty good.

I'll second that. 0000 steel and rem oil or WD. Always worked for mine.
