Thanked: 0Cupper as pivot pins?
Hey all!
I have one bad looking SR but it's usable, even if it has deeper black rust on it, I like to restore the scales. And get new scales for all my SR that have plastic handles. I bought a 3 mm Rivet set and 50 pcs of copper rivets 2x16 size.
Usually people use brass for that, but I could not find brass rivets that are long enough so I bought some copper.
Copper does have anti bacterial properties, but if you clean them with acid, they will have a green color on them.
Perhaps if I do not clean them with acid then they will only darken????
Is copper is good alternative?
