Mine worked well, but I didn't clean up afterward well enough so I have a little residue around where I rubbed it on. The lettering and logo came out nice.
I dont have a closeup...

I haven't used it on my AR; but I did use it on my Garands. The Lacquer Stick works well. Use some rubbing alcohol over the area first to get off any grease or oil, rub the LS on, then clean up with a rag that is LIGHTLY coated with CLP.

Good stuff. Hope it helps.

Brownell's sells them, but they are not Brownell products, and Brownells does price them a quite a bit higher than some other retailers out there.

Aside from that they work fine. I used baby oil to wipe off the excess. I don't have photos of my AR rifle and pistol that I did, but they worked great.

Are they permanent like advertised. Crayon just doesn't last and testors paint comes off way to easy when cleaner is applied.

I used Brownells laquer sticks about two years ago and haven't retouched the markings yet. And I have gotten gunScrubber on it too.

I had good luck w/ rubbing alcohol, then dry, then your color choice of crayon, then rubbing alcohol to remove the excess. Has stayed on my Glocks and AR for a few years now.

Just use crayon. Applied nearly 4 years ago with no touch up, and this rifle has seen a lot of use:

I bought the lacquer sticks and to be honest, they're just overpriced crayons. They work OK, but heat and solvents will do them in. But, it is an easy fix to fill them back in.
Perhaps some type of paint would be more permanent, but much more difficult to apply.
