If you are looking to get very involved to do detail work, you can pull it apart, file everything to look the way you wish, then give it a quick sand blasting (NOT bead blasting).
Degrease, preheat, then spray it with Norrells and you will end up with a great looking BUIS. From the pictures, that one looks pretty good already, and I don't think you will have that much work to do. The other thing you can do, which may be a good idea if you didn't know that there are ballbearings inside that rear sight assembly, or if you are uncomfortable with pulling it apart, is to file , then rough the cut area up with sandpaper. The area that is already anodized doesn't need to be sanded. If you have access to blasting equipment, you could tape off your cut area and give it a quick blasting also. If I were doing it, I would file and sand it into shape, then I would spray the entire assembly already together. I've pulled carry handles apart, and spent a lot of extra time dealing with each individual part, and I've sprayed them assembled, and when you are done, you can't tell the difference. |

Next time you want to ask someone a question, try IMing the person instead of starting a whole new thread to ask one person a question.

I don't have any heart burn with people asking as there really isn't a way for people to track these questions down. Each time its asked here on the board, it answers questions for a bunch of other people. Aside from that, other people with more knowledge than me can jump in an make corrections, or give input based off their experiences.
The revised AR15 Refinishing thread, and the 1911 refinishing thread are hopefully going to have a FAQ section where some of these will be covered. There are also a few other ideas that we have kicking around that should help people out. |

I thought I'd add some pics of my CCH BUIS. Finished with Alumablack.

This one looks real good, aside from the cheap lockdown nut. Stick, you should be ashamed of yourself. LOL!

+1, I can't stand people like edwin247 (nothing personal), that think they have the right to tell people when they can or can't post a question, or what they can or can't do. The rules are at the top of each forum, not in your .02 cents. I agree with stick, and I appreciate his quick response to edwin247's post, I do also have a suggestion. Maybe Tee-Bruce can change the name of this thread so it will be much easier for people to find. Don't be so hard on the Newbe

Just chopped a Cardinal Forge CH myself and painted it a couple of months ago. I had some of the very same questions as Tee-Bruce and I for one am glad we all have Stick here to answer questions for us. We all benefit from the knowledge of those with more experience when questions are posed publically as opposed to privately. You haven't been around very long to figure out if everyone IM'd each other questions, this board would be half the database it is now and consequently not nearly as beneficial or successful as it is. So lighten up Francis, nobody died and left you King of ARFCOM. HS1 |

I thought about buying one of those too and doing the same thing you plan to do.
Stickman has it right. |

As usual some people are late to this thread.
I agree with Stickman that the question asked by the original poster could answer the same question for others. So it is helpful. But what you don't see is that the orginal poster did change the title of the thread (as suggested by ogcujo) and now it looks more like a normal thread, not a direct question.. I wasn't too harsh on him, I just stated that if he wanted to ask a direct question to a single person, that is better done with IM. |

Edwin247 is a good guy, the problem with the internet is that sarcasm, joking around, or trying to be outright rude can often be taken the same way. I've made comments here that have been taken wrong, and I'm sure I will again. I don't think there was any malice intended. I'm just waiting for Tee-Bruce to bring out the gumbo, I've starving over here! |
