Has anyone tried stripping the anno and polishing an original AM rail? Do you think it would be able to make it look good? (I'm really tired of theat black/purple original anno, and I have some small scratches I would want to get rid of)

the rail is annoed
you will have to be careful when stripping it. wear gloves/goggles.... lye will burn you.
you will need to buy some lye to strip it off. dunk the rail into the lye until you can see the anno coming off, use a toothbrush or something to scrub off the anno
get some sandpaper up to 800 grit, but no more. try to get wet/dry sandpaper if possible, it doesnt really matter.
there are 2 options from here, one is if you have a dremel/bench grinder, and the second one is if you dont.
Option #1:
dont use higher grits because i would leave that up to the dremel/bench grinder to do. use a compound that removes scratches, this will take the place of higher grit sandpaper.
then get jewlers rouge or a high luster compound and polish to a shine.
Option #2:
keep going higher with the sandpaper, up to the highest grit you can find, and it will still become very shiney.

Just remember not to sand INSIDE the rail. There are some tolerance sensitive areas and if you remove too much, you may encounter problems.Comment

oven cleaner will also take anno off..but be well ventilated
