I have an Argentine FM Hi Power on the way, one of the Century imports. Of course those goofballs chose to mark the slide with the 'CAI Georgia VT' and it looks tacky.
Has anyone had any luck in removing engraving or import marks on guns? It looks like it's not as deep as the manufacture engraving, so I might try sanding it down. The whole gun is going to get blasted down and refinished in the end - I'd like to have the import markings gone in the finished product.
