Any recommendations (other than a black marker) can I use to touch up the black finish on my rifle?

Birchwood Casey Aluminum Black.

Works well in some applications. Others, it does not.

What he said.  There is a big variance in the color of uppers and lowers these days.  Many shades of black.  The Aluminum Black works best with the darker blacks and blends in well.

I have used a black paint pen from an arts and crafts store.  Walmart also has it in their crafts section.  I find that it bonds better to metal than the Aluma Black.  Makes for a decent touch up on small nicks.
