I have no clue how you'd touch up the metal.
Tim at mac1airguns painted mine after the resolder job, and it's not really a super durable finish.
Not sure if mine was an exception or not, but it's wearing off easily.

Birchwood Casey makes a bluing for brass called "Brass Black". Works on brass, copper & bronze. I have used it to touch up my 342. Pretty easy to use too.

[Hoosier Daddy]

I have heard of "Brass Black" but did not know it was a Birchwood Casey product.
Thanks for that!

tomiboy, trying to get up to speed on your thread. Do you have a pic of your rifle?

Hey Tom, thanks for the tip; "Brass Black"

[19Sheridan57]

He is on vacation.

[Yng@hrt]

Good for him. Man can I use one too. Been burning the midnight oil. 3 remodels & 1 ground-up. Found muscles that had been hidden. Advil's been a good friend. Need to start subbing out a lot more work to those young bucks. BTW, you doing ok after the storm?

I am an Oldie but I'm not Moldy, I am Retired and a Veteran but I'm not a Retired Veteran, I am somewhat disabled(Blind, in left eye) but Im also enabled, I'm 69 and I feel Fine(most days), my days are now numbered but I don't feel encumbered, Each Day with my Wife is the Best Day Of My Life.  With Joanne at my Side, I am Truly Blessed & Highly Favored.      My Best Wishes to All   -     Tom

Doing fine. No real damage from the storm, other than lost power for several days. Many huge trees are down all over the area. There is one huge Oak tree laying on an old church. They cut away all the limbs near the entrance , so they could go in & worship. The rest of the tree is still leaning against it !!

Hats off to your wife for choosing the best state in the country for vacation.

I'd be happy to post pics if you'd like. Just send them to my email. I'll do the rest.
