There's a few scratches on my swiss arms I want to clean up. Any suggestions if there's any touch up pens or fillers I can use on this type of finish?

Thanks in advance
 
If you can get a hold of it, you can try some cold bluing paste or liquid on a Q-tip to darken the scratches, but it's been a pain finding any recently.

Trying to find an exact colour match to the swiss arms paint colour might be challenge.
 
You would be best off refinishing the entire part of the rifle, ie. entire Lower or upper, with the closest color match. You will easily be able to see any touch up paint jobs. I would leave it unless its really bad.
 
Yeah - I've got to agree with some of the other guys - they add character + ownership.

And trying to 'fix' marks on a firearm almost ALWAYS ends up looking worse than you started out with ...

I was fortunate with my SANS - whilst researching the rifle before my first Swiss Arms purchase - I discovered the rifle's penchant for chipping / marking the receiver just behind the ejection port. I ended up going to a printing / sign shop with a template of the ejection port and had them cut out a few 'stickers' of clear sticky 3M plastic to mask around the rear of the port.

I ended up with a virtual 'invisable' shield that I can take off if it gets too marked up, and then just replace it with a fresh one!
(edit: 2,000rnds plus and the sticker looks just fine, thank you very much!)
