What does everyone use to clean their brass receiver ?

Henry recommends:

TO MAINTAIN OR RESTORE THE RECEIVER TO ITS ORIGINAL FACTORY SHINE, WE SUGGEST YOU USE PEEK METAL POLISH, FLITZ, OR NEVR DULL.

I use Flitz on mine. Just be careful to avoid getting it on the screws; Flitz will remove the bluing. I apply it with a q-tip to work around the blued metal. It does a great job.

Several members prefer to let their brass receivers age without polishing them to develop a pleasing, natural patina.

Thank you very much CT

I clean my rifles with Balistol - the brass, the wood, the metal. Just wipe it down when I am done cleaning and I am done. I started out polishing the brass with Flitz but no more. I bought mine to use, so if it shows wear, so be it.

Let it go a nice dark patina...
