Blueskybob 12 Posted July 19, 2018 Thanks John for the information. If I had the time and space, and skill I might attempt It! (and guts) :-) Right now I am looking for a smith or re finisher who can do it. Any suggestions? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It took a lot of positioning wit h a bright light to show up the marks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bhunted 887 Posted July 22, 2018 It really doesn’t look too bad. You should be able to touch them up with a little patience.The hardest part, (unless you can take the receiver apart), is getting around the obstacles that protrude on the receiver.The finish looks more satin to me than brushed. I really don’t see any brush lines.In any event, you can try using a scotch brite pad in a small area where the scratches are. Just use the pad in the direction of the brush strokes over a scratched area. Those scratches don’t look that deep. You really can’t mess up stainless beyond repair with those minor scratches.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
