sidelock scope damage
 
I recently put a scope on my Renegade and the blow back has left a white film on the scope. I cleaned as much as i could off with steel wool but i still have the film in the cracks and crevices. How much should I worry about the film it is leaving. I have cleaned it with soap and water with toothbrush. I also changed nipple to stop the blow back but have not verified it yet. I have considered wrapping the scope with camo duck tape but am really unsure about this move.

I had put electrical tape on my inline because of the same issue.

I cut a small piece of leather, punched four holes in the corners and tied it to the scope with leather shoe lace material.

Yes it happens. I clean the area and make sure it is well oiled. A lot of times.. what happens is it burns the paint off the scope. You can put tape on the scope. It will not hurt a thing.

Easy fix.

Take the scope off. :happy0001:

This is also what I did, after mine started getting small marks on it, and it works great. This seems to be the best solution I've found, although I'm also shooting an inline, not a side lock, but it still will work.

When I shot my side lock with a scope on it for the first time I was more concerned with the blow back around and under the scope base. I took the base off and it was filthy underneath it. Is there anything that can be done to resolve this issue?
