| What is the best way to remove a bayo lug and then refinish the metal to look like new? |

Odds are the lug is useless anyways.
Unless it s a true M-4 barrel w/ welded extended FH or 20" rifle a standard bayo won't fit right. Cut & grind. If you want to try to replicate the texture of the surface of the rest of the FSB grab a heavy hammer and some different rough grades of carborundum sandpaper. Tap the hammer on the sandpaper laid pace down on the part to imprint the rough texture onto the surface. When you get the texture you want apply cold blue or paint the FSB. |

Up to the OP, but cutting off at the bright yellow line is probably the safest, and whats the point of having anything more than that? Like stated, without a proper flash-hider at the proper distance from lug to mount a bayonet its worthless anyway. There are posts about cops hassling guys on the range for BS because of their own personal interpreation of the law. Unless you know exactly what the law clearly states and there is NO possible way to interpret it otherwise; all you need is for some rabid hysterical anti-gun nut to turn you into another hysterical anti-gun nut in a position of authority (which I'm sure there is NO shortage of such in New York) and you be eyeballs deep in lawyers bills as they try to settle the interpretation of bayonet lug and whether they can grab headlines by making an example of you.
You gotta love liberals, they are scared to death someone might bring a knife to a gunfight  . What logical argument is there to ban a bayonet lug on a rifle? Its all emotional, end around rulings to ban rifles that look scary, but I digress.

Obviously the bayo lug, but at which point on it. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v332/RKnarr01/HERE.jpg Yellow line. I used a hacksaw,then cleaned it up with a hand file. |

I would never mutilate a weapon because of some peckerhead law.  Enjoy your arrest and jailtime. I don't think he's talking about defying the (admittedly quite "pekerheaded") New York law. I think it's more about avoiding places that have "peckerhead" laws in the first place-and I am in complete agreement with him on that. |

I would never mutilate a weapon because of some peckerhead law. such great insight for the op to help with his question. op- will you be removing the front sight post to cut it? if not i would rap the barrel in something tough enough to withstand a nick from the grinder/blade/sander. |
