I had originally planned on cleaning this up and selling it, but now I'm not so sure. :rolleyes: I may have to let another gun go instead.
This is what it looked like when I received it this morning from another AO member:

One of the previous owners decided to spray paint it black and the paint was "well worn" to say the least. I took a good bit of it off with some lacquer thinner and it cleaned up pretty well. The anno is obviously worn but I still think it looks better now. In any case, after a few hours in my semi-capable hands and with some extra stuff I had laying around, this is the result:

You can see some of the black paint still on the grip here. Can I safely use Lacquer Thinner on a Carbon Fiber frame?

In any case it's a nice little shooter and came with a Level 10 bolt. The trigger seems much more responsive than my emag valve with RT on/off.
