So after only 600rnds my shell deflector is getting pretty beat up. I saw this picture in another thread which appears to be velcro covering the deflector.
Anyone bother to protect the shell deflector from the mean brass exiting the rifle? Or dont care? Or does anyone know of any paint/film/coating DIY repair job that can make it look better? |

Just in case the enemy didn't hear the big *BOOM* that came right before the faint *tink* of the brass? Smart thinking.  Quoted:

I use the fuzzy velcro. Works nice, softens the impact, reduces noise. All good Just in case the enemy didn't hear the big *BOOM* that came right before the faint *tink* of the brass? Smart thinking.

Spit beer through my nose. Thanks. Seriously though, why are the scratches a bad thing? Mine are all brassy, and some are missing chunks of ano and Ckote from shooting shitty steel. Meh. |

I like a little worn look. My Glock has lost all it's black on the edges of it's slide from it's 21 years of use and holstering. LOVE it. Wear marks should be worn proud!
I can understand if it's a safe queen... but if it's a "tool" that you use, bring on the scuffs!

Be afraid of the man who has a WORN - BEAT UP shell deflector. Indeed, would kinda like to see it and know the rough roundcount, My carbine has somewhere between 5-6000 rounds everyone of them hitting the deflector and it hasn't yet made it through the anodizing. Though to be fair I'm sure the Krylon bought me another five rounds or so. |

I do the same thing to all my AR's, but these are there to protect the brass, because I reload. X2 I own pg 2. I reload every round that goes through my rifles. I don't protect my shell deflector. I have never had an issue in 10's if 1000's of rounds. |
