    Default Dinged the build

    Lesson learned after the fact. Strap wrenching a JP tube on a receiver in a block and vice. Found out the dust cover pin was hitting the outer JP ring for the last 1/8 of a turn. Left a mark and slightly bent the pin. Its all good but could have been nice.

    scratches, dings and dents give it character. Wait till a sudden gust of wind turns your bench over
    You shooting or entering it in a beauty contest ?

    Meh, stuff happens. I destroyed a buffer tube a couple years back while removing it from a receiver after having a couple beers. Lesson learned - fully back the castle nut off so the end plate will spin freely as the tube spins. The buffer tube was no big deal but it also took a huge gouge out of the receiver in the process. The receiver still works fine. The buffer tube was sacrificed into a homemade slide fire.

    Look at it this way: this makes it easier to go after it with Krylon for that operator look, lol.

    Go throw it in the dirt a couple times and you won't even notice your little scratch anymore.

    yeah, don't worry about it. I had a rifle fall off a bench onto concrete. Put a nice little rash mark on it that bugged the shit out of me, but it didn't affect performance and over time I forgot about it until you just re-opened that wound….

    Until you discover the "blemish" is actually out of spec machining.
