What to do about a scratch mark in the finish of my AR

[ryknoll3]

This. Throwing it down the driveway is the go to test for an AR.

Then you could say that you and the rifle were "in the sandbox."

Jesus ****.....just go shoot the damn thing. Who cares about a scratch. It's a war machine.....run it like it stole your lunch money.

Agree

 

[nobek102]

IMO scratches = character

 

[Cerberus]

I've only got 1 rifle that I baby, and it's most assuredly not an AR.

 

[RobbyMaQ]

Is it too late to say rub some dirt on it?

 

[tradertator]

Rub some dirt on it

Spit on it first

 

[Bigtanker]

Have you tried uncoiled rice?

 

[Vigilant]

Scratch the other side so they match, and sell it in the classifieds as "custom finish"

 

[halfmileharry]

Yea, we definitely have some used car dealers in the classifieds here

What if we get MAC to rub the dirt on it? Would that increase its' value?

1775USMarine's answer made the most sense to me! Anyone have a new lower with no imperfections of any kind that that they are willing to hand deliver on a pillow?

It says "Anderson" right? Not Noveske? Why spend $10 on Birchwood Casey when that will buy a mag of ammo?

A Noveske that's sat in the safe and remained all purdy makes John Noveske weep in his grave.

Yeah. But if it was pristine, it's good for about 3 or 4 Andersons. Great trade out! Pick up a lower and a Geissele trigger in lieu thereof.

 

[seedubs1]

That's what I've done. Nice triggers in lieu to spending money on blingy things.

Although I'm thinking my next build will be a lot slower and more expensive. I'm really wanting to build off of a Cross Machine receiver set.

I got a damaged lower for nothin'. Ear for TG was busted (had pc).
Slapped an enhanced TG in it, pinned per regular assembly and epoxied it (now a non detachable TG).
Bit of contour where the repair was. Big ........................deal (said in my best Benny Hill voice).
Sanded whole thing (was green) and redid in Gunkore flat black.
It's more black than the upper and kinda irks me.
So degrease and hit with flat black paint tomorrow.

Total..........$425 in my AR (had old parts around- new bbl though).

Gonna treat it like an ex wife that had a good lawyer...........no mercy, no respect.
