| What's the best way to remove rattle can paint, specifically from a Harris bipod and Larue mount? I was going to soak it in acetone and apply a wire brush, but I'm open to suggestions. |
| you dont need to really "soak" it in acetone it will melt it off fast. Acetone evaporates pretty fast, so try to keep it on a rag at all times. I use two rags, one in a bucket to catch the acetone while wrapping the part in the other. a stripping pad works great too. Use a hard plastic brush, not wire. |

i stripped my painted rifle using this method http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_6_19/319743_.html works great- very fast (spray, let it sit 10-15 minutes, agitate with a brush and rinse). the only issue i had was it peeled off the rubber coating on my front sling swivel. |
