remove ingraving

[kevin nicholls]

Need a little help from the GS. I have a rem 870 that has been engraved with a name on the receiver and I want to remove it or cover it, any ideas. And no it's not an ex wife or anything. Thanks Kevin

dremel, fine sand, polish then bluing - just my "blink" response though

Not sure how if you're not going to also refinish... but I know it can be done by filling in the engraving with solder, prior to Duracote or similar.

I was wondering the same thing I have an old A5 that I want to stip get the name removed somehow then have it nickel plated

I have the same issue on my 700. I was thinking of dremel smooth and then Bondo or JBWeld to fill in. I would then Cerakote the action.

gotta git rid of them serial numbers?

I like the bondo idea, nothing more redneck than bondo on a shotgun. I'm sure I'll have to refinish it. I just did my old mossberg with aluma-hide 2 and it turned out pretty good. It would have to be filled in somehow prior to refinish. Thanks Kevin

I would not use a dremel. No way on nearth it would be flat. Use sand paper on small wooden square stock, feather the ends.

I have seen some actions that where cerecoated that they used Devcon titanium epoxy to fill in, then sand area smooth. That was a the base of it anyways.

just run a bead over it and grind it back down.....

this can alter your temper of the metal so be very careful can also warp your action.
