I am wanting to have the bolt on my new Bergara rifle fluted and the guy that will be doing it offers to have the case head placed in the end of the bolt knob. It looks great while its nice and shiny but I'm afraid over time the brass will tarnish and get that greenish look and not look good any more. What's y'alls thoughts? Anyone ever done something like this? Anyone ever have luck using a sealant on brass to prevent it from tarnishing?

Do you really think that’s a live primer??

I have made 100’s of knobs in every shape/styles/size that you can imagine. Lots of people want cartridge heads in the end, some even furnish their own one that meant something to them. Yes I have primers in jar of oil I use on them to deactivate them. Personally I like them tarnished a bit so the head stamp will contrast better with the shiny brass.
