[SHOTSING]

I don't know why it's taken me this long to find this forum
(Shoulda been here five years ago) but I'm glad to be here now.

I just aquired my second Beretta. First was a 686 Onyx sporting I got for $800 about 6 years ago. Me and that piece were a bird killing machine. I had to let that one go due to no employment/needed money.

Been missin' that shotgun. Fit me really well. Learned me some Bob Brister.

The AL390 D.U. I just got is a nice piece as well. I bought it to use. It is not as "gaudey" as I thought it would be but, I'm concerned about the gold on the receiver. I have some rifles that I have either varnished or applied "Linspeed" to(wood AND metal) in an effort to preserve the fine finish.

So far so good on those items.

My question to yall is: Can I do something similar to this new to me Beretta to preserve its finish, particularly the gold....inlay is not quite correct; it's more of a leaf type thing....?

Any and all recommendations/suggestions welcome...

Thanks in advance,

SHOTSING

Still no repiles? No body knows nuthin'?

My greatest concern is applying something to these ducks (De Oro) and lifting them off the receiver. Any ideas about this??
