Unobtanium Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 One thing I did notice yesterday when cleaning my M4 is that the ejecting cases put (VERY) slight dings/gouges around the ejection port on the inner corners on their way out. I assume this is normal, yes? Quote
Duggan Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 http://s3.supload.com/free/m4-bottomwear.jpg/view/ http://s3.supload.com/free/m4-topwear.jpg/view/ That is how your m4 ejection port will look after you put many more thousands of rounds through it. The bottom is actually worn more than the top is, it's just impossible to photograph the inside edge of the bottom receiver where all the wearing is. The gun still works 110%, so yea, I'd say it's normal. Quote
Mr. Shotgun Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 Yeah, I'm having the same problem too I just take a permanent black magic marker and cover it up.... it'll look good in the case but when you fire the gun, the magic marker ink evaporates.... does anyone make touch up paint for guns? Quote
Thunderbolt Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 Birchwood Casey Aluminum Black will touch up those areas like new. Quote
Unobtanium Posted August 16, 2008 Author Posted August 16, 2008 Cool, im not worried about it in the least, just wanted to make sure everything was functioning 100% as it should be. Thanks PS. For those of you who are worried about it, the above poster hit the nail on the head. Quote
splashtx556ftw Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 i have noticed dings inside just about every auto rifle and shotgun ive ever looked at. in fact when buying a used automatic, its a dead give away to how much its been used. Quote

Oddly none of my AR's have any except on the little nub that keeps the shells out of my face. The Winchester 1500 I have has none. However, for this platform it is well and normal and if it ever bugs anyone, I suggest the Alumablack. Quote
