You'd rather use sand paper than chemicals on your crown?

I dont know about Duracoat but Cerakote is a pain to remove with anything but a sand blaster. My crown/muzzle is painted tan, and my rifle is black/gray. I just left the muzzle tan cause its the muzzle and anything on that end wont know the difference

It was just a bit of primer over-spray that was removed in less than a minute.I cant see it doing any damage it was the finest wet/dry that you can buy.More like lightly polishing the crown if anything and i stayed away from the muzzle

Which Zip Strip product did they use? Industrial? Green?
I have two optics that need some paint removal.

Thanks,

I duracoated my 5R black. It has pretty much blown all the black around the crown off after only a couple hundred rounds.

There is no need to really remove it anyway. The Duracoat or Cerakote won't hurt it to begin with.

Copper jacketed projectiles at Mach 2-3 tend to remove the finish where they touch it in pretty quick order.

I just put an expanding ear plug in the muzzle when I paint. To remove, there are some chemicals that remove duracoat rather well. Now if rember what I used last time...
