picks up finger prints, shows scratches easily, ect
i opted for cerakote in a color that mimics bead blasted
When I got my first 6.5 grendal AR Bartlien (bead blasted)barrel I went to the tactical shop my buddy runs to install it.He lets me use his vise and tools.Anyway the gas block was tight going on.So,he hits it with a brass hammer and left a few scratches on the barrel.I about had a fit.He laughed and sprayed some Break Free CLP on it and used a brown scrub pad.Worked like magic.I haven’t scratched it yet,but I know what will fix it.
