Rep, I can't remember exactly, but was a some popular paint stripper.
Then smoothed out with some 0000 steel wool.
It actually came off pretty easy.

Zamac but these covers and barrel bands are tough. I stripped them down to bare metal. Heavy and machined precisely.
I went with the warm gold color.

I used Aircraft Remover spray. With a brass wire brush. You have to take the cover off the receiver though along with the barrel bands.

Removed the cover and band, stripped the black paint off both. Easy!! light sanded (600 grit) cleaned with acetone
then primed and sprayed. Good old Rustoleum rattle can.

Excellent. I did the same but sprayed it with the grey Teflon paint used on original M16 magazines. I hung it in the garage for a few months and it got very hard.SittingBull wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 4:28 pmRemoved the cover and band, stripped the black paint off both.
