Another question when I installed my ATI stock. When I removed the barrel retainer, I noticed the barrel's finish looked "chipped". It's a decent spot, about the size of a pinky fingernail. Does Hi-Point paint the barrel or is it just a really thick blue? What would be the best way to repair this? Thanks.
My best guess is that its a paint. I would lightly sand and try an automotive hi temp paint and cure it in the oven at a low temp and see how it comes out, if it were me. Of course if you go with the oven, take any plastic parts off first.
