Removing lettering on savage action

[bigngreen]

It has to be blasted or sanded, I do one or two a week, then cerakote.

If that's for a short action. I have a standard black one I would trade. Just pay shipping both ways. I don't really need yours just helping out.

that's the normal process for sure to blast it but have you ever tried to use acetone to remove the lettering? If you are doing a couple a week could you try to remove one with acetone before blasting it and let us know if it works?

I am betting it was applied with a laser

I wonder if it would come off being polished in a vibratory cleaner using walnut etc.? You may end up with a very shiny bolt body then!

You take the lipstick off of Hillary, it's still a pig.
Take the lettering off, it's still going to be a savage. Lol

Nothing wrong with it being a Savage. Do we really need to re-hash all of that, again?

Concur with other posters, it is most likely etched through the black finish. To remove it you'll probably have to re-finish the bolt body. Or replace it.

OR for a short term solution, take a Sharpie to it. That is what I did to a scope rail with the mfg's name etched into the sides of it. They didn't give me the rail and I'm not sponsored by them so they do not get free advertising.

Thanks for the ideas of fluting the bolt. Not trying to put any more into this gun than necessary as it's just for practicing. I have my other customs to look pretty! Haha

I just checked the website (of the first posted fluting pics). Only $65 + shipping which is about the price of a few boxes of ammo. Not bad at all.
