MrCetrizine Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Is it blued or stainless or something else? If it's blued then Birchwood Casey do a felt tip pen that repairs scratches very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggy Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I would try a Birchwood Casey lead remover and polishing cloth. You have to be careful though as aggressive use will remove bluing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for looking. As a permanent solution, I changed from a T8 to an AU-S5. Regards JCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattnall Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Parkerised? If you are going to use the mod some more, chances are you'll only scratch it again. Paint it or try some of the proprietary metal blue/black solutions or the Birchwood paint pens. If it isn't bothering you too much leave it alone and go shoot some more.

marty Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 I have machined a groove in the plastic bush big enough to take an "o" ring the ring contacts the barrel and a dab of silicon greasemakes a solid fit. No more marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finman Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 The outside of my barrels never shot anything, so, I don't much care what they look like... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 The problem is that the mod has been incorrectly fitted. There should be at least 0.010" clearance between the bush and the barrel. The bush is NOT there to centralise the mod...its simply a safety device. The mod centralises/squares itself on the barrel shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
