What exactly are they finished in? I thought I'd add my own personal touch to an all black weapon by polishing the barrel hood. Just NORMALLY helps add a neat touch and MOST barrel hoods stratch after use anyway.. right? This is driving me nuts! I start to get it to bare metal, hit it with a touch of Mother's polish and it blackens it back up?!? I get it almost there again so I use a touch of gun oil to wipe it down to clear out residue and poof! Blackens it again?!? :evil: I dabbed on some Outer's Rust and Blue Remover, and I'll be damn if it didn't blacken the bloody hood AGAIN! :-x
