pre v 203a cg pin question..

[zhoon1129]

I've seen couple pics of gen 203a but I still can't figure out how the cg pin of the 203a is processed.

txcollector who owns a franken said it should be polished.

It seems to me that it's neither pvded or brushed but not polished.

What's the answer?

I'm looking forward to hearing from you guys.

It's very likely machined finish like the rest of PreV CG pins and blackened like the lug bar screws. That's the only reason I can see the color would rub out after extensive use. Most non NOS 203/a pics show the pin with very little coating or just plain SS.

So how do I get machined finish effect on it?

Put the pin in a dremel chuck and run it on low-medium speed against your wife's nail file or if you're not married a knife sharpening stone or a sheet of coarse sandpaper will do. You want to be ~320-600 grit for the best effect.

That's something undoable for me.

Should I just leave it as brushed?

It's not hard, all it requires is a dremel or a drill. It would take you 5 minutes tops if you have all a pin remover and a drill.
