 Removing Label on upper receiver

I just got my new Palmetto State rifle kit in. It is very high quality but they labeled it on the carry handle and the upper receiver. I do not mind that they labeled the stock, bolt carrier or the buffer because it is not shown nor does not stand out. I have build several other companies rifle kits and they did not have to put their advertizment all over it. I don't see it labeled when I ordered it. Any help would be good news.

There's likely nothing you can do, short of reanodizing the parts. Most all of those markings are done by using a laser to bleach away the dye from the anodizing.

Krylon, Rustoleum, DuraCoat, GunKote, etc...?

I'm willing to bet there are brand junkies that'll suck those laser etched parts off the EE should you decide to swap the parts and sell 'em.

jmo...


otoh, I seem to recall a similar discussion on the Spike's forum about 2 years ago, and I think the answer was that in their case the branding came off with acetone, or lacquer thinner.

I have no idea what those solvents do to anodized aluminum, should you experiment.

I haven't seen the PSA's in question, but it's usually 'printed' on, not inscribed.

Just cover it up with a "BCM" sticker.

I already sold it. Shopping for another one without all the labels.
