SgtTalbert Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Paint would work, as its the side, rail cover even? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStew Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Two part body work putty, sand then paint. Will be purely cosmetic though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommikka Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 It’s a rail. Accept it has happened. The rail will still function as a rail, there are still threads in there. Mount something on it, touch up with some paint or if you don’t like it then replace the rail. Back in the day I filed back one of the rails on a gun body to precisely align a feed. The item manufacturer saw my mod and asked for more pictures and dimensions which they put into the redesign of their next iteration. I no longer use the item, so if I bring out that gun there’s a shiney gap on a black body. It has no effect on function Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Samurai Posted February 21, 2020 Supporters Share Posted February 21, 2020 I'd clean it up with a drill press and a big drill bit so it looks a nice chamfer, then some paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tec-Spek Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Dab of paint and accessory over it if needed. I'd say thats as good as it gets without going to overly extended efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaBear Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Get a dremmel with a sanding stone and finish it off. The some JB weld and paint it.. Best thing is to use some magpul xtm covers though if you can... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shootin Aces Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 Thanks for the tips guys much appreciated! Ladders and a laser box had crossed my mind, the paint might work too 👌🏻 thanks lads On 21/02/2020 at 12:19, Lozart said: WTF happened to that?
