Blasting may pit the metal. My advice is to get a sheet of 100 grit wet-dry silicon carbide paper and attach it to a flat surface, then grain the side of the receiver from front to back in a straight line. When you have removed any pits or scratches, move to 150 grit and repeat. Wipe the part with mineral spirits or denatured alcohol (not rubbing alcohol) and apply the finish. Alumahyde works well, as does the Brownells' bake-on lacquer finish, or get a can of Brownells' Gun-Kote in the color of your choice.
