 The "upper receiver scracth" -- are you referring to the brass deflector?? Are you planning on shooting the gun? |

Sorry - these kind of posts come up every so often and invariably spiral downward into a rant about how it's a tool and who cares.
Anyway, the scratch on the upper is from brass flying out and hitting the brass deflector. No worries there. As far as the barrel, I wouldn't concern yourself. Actually I wouldn't worry about much of any scratches. Use it and enjoy it. It will get worn from use. |

a few scratches add character. you'd need to get the barrel threaded to add a flashhider.

How much would it cost to get the barrel threaded first? Since everything is so damn expensive on this gun I am guessing it costs a lot. Is it even worth it?

Wouldn't cost too much depending on where ya get it from.
ADCO for one charges like $40 or so I believe for barrel threading. |

We were all novices once  . Nobody on this board just picked up a rifle and suddenly knew everything about it. The brass marks may come off with a little CLP. I notice that they usually do when I clean mine. Scratches do add character though. Just enjoy shooting it. A perfect firearm is an unused firearm. |

I guess its all relative. Figure the barrel threading is roughly $65, but you won't get many other weapons threaded for much less. adcofirearms.com/shopservices.cfm?page=shop Whether its worth it is something only you can decide. |

I say shoot it, spend the 65 on ammo and enjoy the weapon.

 Brass marks on the deflector .... no worries, that's normal. If it really bothers you that much then just re-touch it with Brownells Alumnahyde II. ETA: how many rounds have you shot thru that? |

A little CLP and some scrubbing and most of that will come off anyways. No worries.

You could always paint the upper and lower a nice brass color - problem solved.
