Just joined about 10 minutes ago, been surfing around since my "addiction"
to 10/22's my question is, I've seen alot of receivers that are "stainless"are costly, mine is painted black, I cleaned the inside, the paint came right off. Has anyone stripped the paint off? My barrel is stainless as is my scope. I just thought the trigger assembly and receiver would look better if they were metal looking. Thanks in advance for any ideas. Craig

I havent removed the paint on mine, but its a cast part, so you would have a dull grey reciever I would think?

Welcome to the addiction!!

after I got all the paint of the inside of mine I compounded it and it got kind of shiney, didnt try hard though

If you decide to give it a go, def post pics, I'd love to see the result! (I guess worst case scenrio, you could re-paint it in whatever color you wanted after, if you didnt like the look?

Thats what I was thinking, worse case, respray with satin black, if I do it , I'll post pics. ( if I can figure out how to!).
