As my original post quickly explained:
-I took apart the gun, stripped all the metal parts of paint.
-Polished up whatever parts I could.
-Used Aluminum black to chemically finish all the parts (top cover and muzzle brake were finished with Bluing earlier).
-Used fine sandpaper to remove some finish on the edges and rivets and so on.
-Polished it a bit again to remove any straight scratches from the sand paper (not much really).
-Mixed water with a LOT of table salt, dunked all the parts in over night.
-Pulled parts out for the day, they were all rusted and corroded by evening.
-Cleaned up using water and such.
-Polished till most of the corrosion/rust is gone, and left with a nice worn out finish.
Rinse and assemble.
I did this for the following metal parts:
Body
Top cover
Bolt carrier
Safety lever
Trigger guard with magcatch
Rear sight block
Rear sight
Rear sight moving parts
Front sight
Handguard retainer
Muzzle brake
Wood - still needs work, I only wore it a bit. Used a bunch of rocks in my hand and rubbed the wood against them, as well as did a bit of sanding if I remember correctly. Then I carved my name into them and left them under water for several hours. Still needs more wear and soaking.
Good luck.
Cheers,
