[ARCHIVED THREAD] - 601 engravings

Why is it that some 601 lowers have the logo and print in contrasting white while others are the same anodizing as the surrounding lower? The only other time I have seen this is on the prototype lowers with the Pegasus lowers.

Examples below:

China marker to enhance the detail of the stampings, done on display rifles or for pictures mostly.

sometimes done with chalk too. a good non permanent way to show the engraving details.

I've used chalk on a few of my pistols for that effect with good results. Some people also use white crayon as well.

I prefer the chalk, as it is easier apply, no heat required, and it is easy to remove. I thought about doing this on my GM 603 receiver, but decided against it. Looks kinda cheesy on a retro rifle IMHO.
