Ok so I'm still shocked by this. I got one of those inexpensive plastic clip on fiber optic barrel sights for my Maverick 88. Cliped it on and then needed to push it forward a little so it would rest against the bead sight and stay aligned. Grabbed a rubber mallet (which is in good condition) and VERY gently tapped it forward. Great! I think. There are some small "marks" on the reciever where the rubber touch the barrel. Well low and behold they were not just transfer marks. The rubber from the mallet actually "erased" some of the bluing! I mean I was barely taping this thing.
I know what your thinking, I thought the same. Probably just rubber marks on the barrel get some alcohol and clean it off. Tried that as well as gun scrubber and some copper wool. Its actually partially removed some of the bluing from extremely mild and indirect blows from a rubber mallet. Couldn't believe how fragile the finish was.
