removing anno?

[sslecyk03]

Another thought, if the ano is black and in good condition, you may want to see if anyone wants to trade a clear polixhed one for your black on. Black seems to be more in demand..

Good luck either way.

Thanks but my rail has already been chopped up, I took about an inch off the front and I don't feel like doing it again on a new rail.

I was thinking more along the lines of the body, but either way.. Be sure to post pics up when you are done.

I have just used a tub of lye in the past and just submerged the piece. At room temp it took just a few minutes.

Body is chopped up too lol, but either way it worked well and I'm just finishing up some wet sanding now. Posting pics soon...

Still needs a bit more sanding in some parts but here it is:

Use higher grit such as 800/1000 to get it really smooth. You can use buffing compound and a polishing wheel to get it really shiny.

I'll see what other kind of sand paper I have, I do have a buffing wheel with compound though too so I'll hit it with that after. Trigger frame is next, and they will all be ano'ed blue eventually, with everything else kept black

Personally, I would let the anodizing shop do the frame. I stripped a Chimera and it is a pain in the rear. I still need to do a better job on it.

Yea, that is why I held off for now, I might take your advice...or my impatience might get the best of me

Curiosity got the best of me, just did the trigger frame too. Needed a lot more sanding and it was a pain but it looks nice now. I'll get pics up tomorrow.

Here's the gun with the trigger frame ano removed. Still needs sanding as well.
