Hey guys,
While I was waiting on the Case colored 50ae's to land I came across the gun I've wanted forever at a great price. It came with some caveats, but I still took it. 
Album - https://imgur.com/a/ehi9z Any idea how I might go about cleaning this up or it something I'm going to be stuck with on the gun. I bought it knowing full well what it was, but if I can clean it up, I want to try. |

The attraction (and to each their own) with that particular edition is the finish. You bought it...well, very very gently. If it's not too deep you could get lucky.

Well,
I guess for $1000 I'll have to live with it, one way or another. |

Cotton swabs or a piece of cloth diaper, little dab of oil, rub...see how much comes off. Too much on the glossy bits and you'll dull the finish, in the contrasting area not such a worry but the contrasting textures you add will stand out.
If it goes sideways, buff it out and get creative. |

Honestly, it really doesn't look bad, just a little variation in what is already supposed to be random tiger stripes. I would clean the gun but not try and do too much with speckled finish. You might do more harm than good. |

DE's & rust? You don't say? Normal for these things. You need to keep a coat of oil on them in storage.
