^^^ your marks are more than likely aluminum and the touch up will not take. Use some bore cleaner instead. Let it sit a long while and eventually the marks will lift/ fade.
This is why I use a slug of copper and not aluminum, leave a mark and a little bore cleaner and Poof!
All gone!
thanks for the tip, i'll give it a shot. I still need some touch up on the bare spots that were under the stock sight. The bare spots made it pretty easy to center the new sight.
Started on a 38 Special 1911. Doing some basic fitting of safeties and other small parts. Hopefully get it off to a gunsmith in a few months.
Are you going to have it set up for wad cutters only? I would think the magazines would be tough for a rimmed cartridge. Sounds like an awesome project gun.
Yup. 148gn wadcutters only. A blowback 1911.Quote:

Three days of lying in muddy sand made for quite a lot of dirty gear. My poor Leica Geovids were packed with crap.
Tell me about it, I've been going through my gear since I got home yesterday, guns were the first thing taken care of, I've been messing with gear and brass since then.Quote:

A lot of guys were bitchen' about the SS at the Colo. Freedom shoot today. Apparently the skeeters are awake, as are the rattlers. See? Good thing I didn't go.
