Alittle elbow grease the black paint was off, some rubbing compound and I had a new brushed steel barrel with the added bonus of the .45 ACP markings.

1979svo, the Punisher 1911 is a WE pistol where as the Les Baer is a KJW so really doesn't have any comparision value for this thread.

I used brake cleaner to remove the orange off my KWA USP, the threads are intact and the paint is gone :)
