HK91 Refinishing

[celery]

Who would be a good person to refinish my HK91 that has claw and ejection marks on the receiver? I would like the job to look original. Is there a finish that doesn't get claw marks that looks original?

Thanks for any help.

I was thinking of cermakote when I refinish mine. It is suppose to be very hard.

RDTS no better finish.

I use cerakote, which is the most abrasive resistant coating I know of. It's a ceramic-backbone coating and goes on extremely thin and is really hard. But I think even it will suffer from claw marks. The claw tips have sharp corners, and they're held in place with quite a bit of pressure so they don't move around.

If you put the mount on carefully, the claw mount marks will be very limited - just one line on the underside of the bumps, and a few circles on the top of the receiver spine. Most of the really nasty claw marks are due to not being careful when installing and removing the mount.
