Any recommendation to completely remove the Wolf A1 gas block? I got the pin removed but the A1 gas block is not moving at all.
My gun smith hates it.

Are you going to add your own serial number to match the original factory serial number? You’ll probably want to blast after doing that work. Ideally you would blast it after machining and deburring. The engravings looks pretty deep from the photos.
I am not adding serial numbers cause they are not needed. I just wanted to make sure on the engravings cause the last one was blasted with 100 grit all around and it destroyed the characters.shaocaholica wrote: ↑Sun Aug 11, 2019 12:38 pmAre you going to add your own serial number to match the original factory serial number?

What do you mean by ‘last one’? For bare aluminum you should be blasting with glass beads and that won’t do anything to deep engravings which is most factory engravings. Only shallow laser engravings and single pass spring loaded tools are potentially removed from blasting with coarse media.

It was that one. I purchased it before T91tactical had their 80%. I took it to someone for blasting and their were the ones that hit it with 100 grit after milling.

Blasting places vary. A place that does a lot of aluminum work will have the right media. Ask if they have glass bead media.
Marking is about 0.008" depth after sandblast, way deeper than the serial number 0.003".
