How can I remove some roll marks?

[67burban]

The only concern I have with jb weld is restamping because I'm sure my letters will overlap. Also if I decide I don't want to compromise and actually parkerize it, doing that work myself, jb weld won't work. I think I'll just have to go the route of welding and smoothing or possibly just smoothing it out if it's not too deep. I'm very familiar with metal finishing since I do body work for a living.

get some Lab Metal. I have used it on things I cerakote and it is great, you spread it like spot putty and it hardens and can be sanded and cerakoted, no mixing hardener with it either. it is like liquid metal, weird stuff but works great

this is the high temp stuff that goes up to 1000 degrees

regardless of what you fill it with weld or epoxy, I would not attempt stamping into filler and parent metal expecting same results..

engraving [base material removal] should work a lot better.. might be a good idea to try the process on a sample of similar materials..

[67burban]

Yeah, I had thought maybe engraving would be the way to go. I think that lab metal might work. It says it can be machined. I do have a silicon bronze welder. That may be another option. I'll see my buddy that's a professional welder and a firearms nut tonight and see what he thinks. I know that steel in the receiver is going to be different than regular steel.

I Would silver solder work and could it be restamped?

Your going to mess up the heat treat in the receiver. Silver solder also will not take parkerizing the same as steel. Tig will effect a much smaller area. I'd be too hard to set it up in a mill to resurface it. Get some good files.

You could machine out a pocket and inlay any plaque you want.

I actually don't hate that idea.

In other news, I picked up my new Rock Island Armory M5 and Mossberg 500 combo this evening. I'm excited to get the M5 to the range and see how she performs.

I'd put that old 1100 back in it's original condition and buy another gun.

That's just me.

Don't forget to Dremel-etch your drivers license number on the trigger guard.

[67burban]

It's a little late for that. This old stock and barrel are long gone. I sold them within days of buying the gun for more than I paid for the gun.

That's a shame. That was a beautiful and desired shotgun. Good luck with your build.

I have a collection of highly desirable Winchester model 12's as well as a Browning a5 and Remington model 11. I never had intentions of keeping this gun original.

Don't even machine a pocket. Make yourself some brass tag with a bunch of BS on it - Property of CIA - Property of U.S. Government - Property of Homeland Security - Remington Test Gun Not to be Sold - use a couple of screw (not pop) rivets to hold it on.
