Barrel refinishing........

Post by ffuries »

Ok, I've been offered a US military, C MP B marked pencil barrel for my AR15 (USAF 604) build. Which I would be stupid to pass up, had the triangle end cap for the handguards and the FSB and 3 prong flash hider.

The last few inches (Basically the exposed portion) of the barrel the finish is well worn. Everywhere else on the barrel it had a nice dark factory finish.

Is there anyway to dress this portion of the barrel up, or am I looking at a complete refinish of the barrel? Any suggestions on what to use or how to do it?

Duh, I forgot the pics. The pics are from the person who's hooking me up with it.
