looks nice man. Good job.

The polished finish looks great. I'll have to keep all of this in mind.

Looks VERY good.

BTW, Just my little blurb here, For removing paint, I use this stuff called "Goof-Off", It removes paint/ect without leaving ANY marks. :wink:

well the marks weren't from me using the paint stripper and brass brush. Before that I tried paint thinner and a scrapper. I know... STUPID! but those marks were from that, not the brass brush and stripper. What little marks the brass brush DID leave were taken off by using the 800 grit then 1500 grit sand paper.

Sorry to revive this thread, but I tried your idea, and thought it would be a good idea to update people on this.

DO NOT USE EASY OFF ON YOUR GBB. It is highly corrosive, and will ruin the alluminum. Madmax was the one that told me this during a conversation that we had. I had already tried the Easy Off on my outer barrel, and as a result, the whole thing became pitted and rough. No amount of sanding could fix it, and I had to buy a new barrel.

good to know thanks for the info
