How to Highlight Markings for PENNIES

[@Slap0]

Wow, so simple and not permanent.

[@rigovega7115]

I used to hate the look but it’s grown on me and it’s simple. Love your vids and I’m catching up on so many. Thanks

[@Igneoused]

This is awesome! Thank you very much for the suggestion! I’ve been around since the “North Florida Gun Guy” days. Great content!

[@GIITW.5OKC]

Always wanted to highlight the crest on my m1938 Turkish Mauser, but a lot of the ways I found were not the easiest to remove (get a damp rag and you're done) or apply.. this is wonderful.. Thanks mate.

[@desertpiggiehunters9790]

Wow..thank you very much. I was actually wondering how everyone did that. Time to go to dollar store lol

[@tafino]

Best crest you could have demonstrated this on. Well done !

[@MilsurpWorld]

Thanks. I've been looking for a nice Venezuelan for a long time.

[@Isaihernandez777]

I love how at 3:04 you threw in a little bit of catchy music, not very obnoxious and made me stay for the rest of the video.

[@MrJerry160]

When I worked at a tool factory I used isopropanol to remove blemished on protractor faces. I did also use acetone for tough blemishes but it did distort the finish. So I avoided it if not necessary

[@seabee277]

Thanks for the tip! I'm gonna have to try this on the crest of my Polish AK!

[@marcokrikke8905]

Huge tanks for this tip🤘 It looks great on my 1915 westing house Mosin nagant from 1915 and my k98 as wel

[@melchung1566]

I've been doing this for years, it works for me too! And easily re applied too.

[@behindenemylines3361]

I like the description to wipe it off: a reasonably clean finger LOL

[@MilsurpWorld]

Lol, thanks.

[@petercollingwood522]

Brilliant. Non defacing and easily removable. I'm going to do this.

[@az_tinkerer_gamer]

Looks great. Good idea for those rifles with great looking crests.

[@nicholasthehutt]

Wow what a 98k collection!

[@gavincurtis9551]

Another method I use is white crayons, if you need to remove it you can use a tooth pic and tooth brush the tooth pic is soft enough to not scratch the blueing on the gun I also use a paper towel to help rub it in

[@lukehouchin2887]

I use china pen. It's basically a crayon pencil. Heat up the reciver it will melt in place. Then wipe excese.

[@broznkyra4853]

I use the lacquer sticks available from Brownells..it's just what I do...not a knock on our host

[@MilsurpWorld]

No knock at all, those work well too.

[@yuibot5998]

My house gets damp at times so guns I display have to be pretty well oiled, I'd be worried it would rust on that spot after wiping with my finger. But it looks awesome and obviously works well in your conditions.

[@MilsurpWorld]

I'd recommend a dehumidifier, I have one in my gunroom. As far as rust I've never encountered any because of this, even when I lived in Florida. BTW, I was just listening to Babymetal.

[@heim1]

White wax pens on amazon work wonders as well, and I’m guessing may stick around longer? But they are removable as well. I wonder what effect chalk or wax will have after several decades

[@MilsurpWorld]

Well, chalk doesn't have any moisture in it that could cause oxidation.

[@joenoffsinger6376]

Good to have background vibes when working on a gun

[@maverickpaladin4155]

I've used white crayon, never tried chalk. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@kyfirearms]

I thought was going to say dollar store crayons. The chalk is a good idea.

[@tafino]

I tried crayon and it’s soso. Never fully fills in, and then never fully comes out. Meh

[@butternutbestboy1251]

I use crayon and then wd40 to wide the excess and If you push hard enough they it fills in most of it

[@ahmet42selim65]

@@kyfirearms chalk takes the patina off

[@danielboydcooper6850]

That was awesome!!! so simple , but awesome none the less. Headed to dollar general tomorrow.

[@kyfirearms]

Good idea. Probably the best method that I have seen.

[@exiledphantom61]

I use white shoe polish clean and effective and doesn’t discolor the gun

[@charlesfinely8144]

Great technique, just can;t bring myself to do it.

[@MilsurpWorld]

Do it!

[@gustavohonzofo]

A+ content man I love your tutorials and how to's keep up the great work.

[@jeffreyg4626]

Good Topic. I love your channel. Your experience is very useful given.... well.... YOUR experience with old Milsurps! Need more videos on these type of topics! Danny, you own a lot of older rifles for a lot longer then me. I'm 54 and bought my first Milsurp in 2017 (A Mosin Hex reciever 1926). Share your knowledge and experience more please. How often do you clean them? How do you maintain them? What tools and products do you use? What do you recommend? Do you take them apart to clean them? How often? Ammo recommendations? Shooting tips? How can a shooter straighten out the sights on a Milsurp? More safety tips... Etc.

[@MTGBroker]

very simple. I use a more permanent method with paint. I use a toothpick and drop in drops. Like color fill. Then a gentle swipe of a soft napkin to clear the excess. I color fill with different colors. Ive even done it to sights on some of my hand guns. Same effect but more permanent even though simple nail polish remover takes out the paint. this is much simpler if you just want white.

[@mongomay1]

Thanks can even use different color chalks. i always made a mess with paint and nail polish and would have different intensities of color. 3 year old finger painting was here!

[@WhattAreYouSaying]

I just used a Paracetamol pill and rubbed it on the markings, lol. But it worked well enough. And if I'm in pain I can just lick my Mosin.

[@CannaCJ]

Chalk draws in water from the air over time, could be an issue in some circumstances or climates.

[@hornetnezt]

Did not come out even on my Turkish 93/38. Maybe the engraving is uneven in spaces? I couldn’t wipe away the excess without losing the color no matter what. May just need to use a Brownell’s laquer pen.

[@JustaGuy1250]

issue with chalk: dont ever touch the highlighted part, not while showing it nor while carrying it just erases too easily

[@MilsurpWorld]

That is true, but for just display or leaving it alone.

[@morgan79347]

Do you have any knowledge on Spanish Mauser 1916? That’s what we think it is. Thank you.

[@FLVCTVAT_NEC_MERGITVR]

Looking good. Same technique that I use.

[@MG_Sid]

I would think that I would have to rechalk all the time if I oiled down the rifle.. Doesn't the water or gun cleaning oil discolor or wash it out? I would use something like a China Marker or crayon, but that's definitely more harder to clean out.

[@sanfordhoffman2392]

Nice

[@shamusarms5476]

Great video thank you!

[@slimfire54]

That's a good Idea.Thanks.

[@archer222238]

Thanks very good and useful tip

[@Spaser15]

I use a grease pencil and gun oil

[@ahmet42selim65]

Dude never try chalk it takes the blue of very badley crayon works great u must wipe of with oil then dry it works amazing and if u want it off its much more harder but oil does the job geting all out at the end of the day

[@neondomestic1464]

Very cool.

Acetone can remove Blueing & Parkerizing. Stainless parts may be ok. Stay clear of that, IMHO. I leave my markings, As is. That's just me. Cool vid & idea though..

[@amputeemarksman]

You can use a non-acetone finger nail polish remover and it will not damage the finish
