I bought a springfield 1911 stainless with an idiot scratch not only on the bottom but up the slide in 2 spots too.
It was my first 1911 so I didn't know about idiot scratches when i bought it used.
I really love this gun,its such a nice shooter and never had a misfire/bad feed with it so
I really would like to clean it up if there is a way to without cerakote or parkerizing it.
I really want it stainless but does anyone know of a way to fix it?maybe some 2000gt sandpaper?wetsand?the good side is i dont have to worry about banging it up a little now but it's such a good gun i would like to fix it and pass it down to my 1st born daughter someday.
also to put an ambi safety on it do i need to modify anything or just put it right in?
