Sanding it would probably be your best option.

Looking it over, it looks like sanding may be the best option. Going to mask the serial number off and sand the rest. I'm either going to ruin it or get exactly what I want. Knowing my skill level with sander, I'm thinking the former! haha

Bondo it and then sand smooth.

Get someone with a mill to machine it off if it's a roll mark.

JB Weld with a little acetone to thin it. It will fill nicely and is easy to sand flat. Covers nicely with any painting finish. I've used it on a couple of lowers.

I would think that should someone want to get a lower laser engraved that this would be a good option to fill the "stock" design and still hold up to being etched. |

If you have a lot of time you can fill and sand and re coat it according to some great posts.
Personally, I would just smile and nod and buy another receiver and move on. Build this one, shoot it and on to the next. Not much utility in trying to fix someone else's mistakes. |

If you're gonna 'kote the rifle anyway it's not that much work but if your just trying to get rid of the engraving I agree with above. |

I would fill it before I sanded it off. I doubt it would lesson the strength of the lower, but less does not always equal better. I have used the watered down JBL method before, but not on a firearm.

Just buy a talon mag well grip decal and it will cover it up. It looks nice and it's what I use on my Anderson lowers.

On the cosmetic laser engraving just sand and fill. I am assuming from the wording there is depth to the logo, I had filled in a PSA logo with jb weld and sanded it down and cerakoted it and it turned out good but was a lot of work.

wow. I cant belief some people say sand it. Assuming the engraving is deep that would look like crap.
Use a mill and engrave deeper and make it what you want. Or send it to a cO2 laser engraver and get something to replace it. check out c4precisionengraving. |

Any sanding or milling will removing the anodizing... I would never do that. I'd return it. That would piss me off.
