Hey all! I'm new here and just got through building my first AR kit. It's a 20" J&T A2 kit and it is beautiful. Trigger is crisp and light, I didn't have any special tools and I managed not to ding or dent it at all during the building process. Everything WAS perfect. I was so proud of myself. However, after I finished it, I was showing it to my dad and, long story short, he dropped the lower on the garage floor. I about crapped myself. The "ears" above the safety catch got dinged and are missing finish and there is a small ding behind the mag catch button. Now, my perfect rifle has 3 blemishes: the safety "ears" and a spot behind the mag catch button. I filed the rough parts down with a small file, so the metal is smooth, but I want it to be black again. I can't stand the thought of it being marred up without having been humped in the field or at the very least shot. She's still a virgin. So my question is, how can I refinish the messed up areas? I know the finish is anodized, but how hard is it to refinish/touch-up compared to bluing, for example? Thanks for any and all replies! |
