I purchased a used Mk 85 online. This won't be one of those fabulous like NIB stories. While functional, it's a little beat up.

Is there any way to polish out dings and marks on a stainless barrel. It looks a little dark.

Also, it looks like it takes a special BP tool. Any ideas on where I can get my hands on one?

Thanks,

Flitz polishing compound will make it bright and new looking but dings are there for life sorry to say.

If you want I can send you the wrench to remove that BP (just send it back when you are done) but I suggest you replace it with a hex head plug.

I replaced the original plug on my BK-92 just use a 7/16th socket to remove it.

Nimrodder,

Does this breech plug use a nipple for percussion caps or is it meant for 209 primers? The information on the web page is unclear.

It uses a #11 nipple.

Thanks for the replies.

Will I find this polish locally at Home Depot or an auto parts store? I see I can order it online but would rather just pick it up.

Most of the issues are surface marks rather than the dings I described. The Flintz may clean it up.
