After deburr job: do nothing or paint ?

[DarkStalker]

Hi !

After shooting my jw20 the shells would not chamber. After examination I found the feed ramp to be rough with a big burr.. Deburred it and now its all shiny.. Should I paint it black or let it be ?

What kind of paint would you use and how would you apply it ?

Thanks

I wouldn't paint it. I would only consider that if it was on the outside of the action.

Thanks!

I can get the part out to paint it.. Or you mean its just not worth it to do so ? No rust issue ?

Paint can be worn down etc so it could cause a problem unless it is a silica based, bake to cure kind. So not worth it.
Keep the area clean and lightly oiled and that should be good enough.

don't paint feed ramps, the paint wil just scratch and transfer into the action

Thanks a lot guys !

Much appreciated.

I agree with the above. Unless you do it right (bluing, ceracote, nitriding) there is no sense putting a finish on moving/functional parts. Keep it clean and oiled and you'll be fine.

As long as it is now bright and shinny you only need to oil it. No need to paint or blue.
