Just picked up my MEGA lower today from the dealer. On inspection I see that it has a couple minor nicks in it. Im fine with it as long as it wont rust or do anything else stupid. What do you think?

There is no chance in the world that it will rust as its aluminum. Alumablack will change it to black, but its up to you whether its worth it. If its a big problem, contact Mega, or the dealer you got it from.

One of my Mega lower had a similar look in an area, but it ended up being a piece of something stuck onto the surface. I scraped it off and found the finish intact underneath. I doubt this is the same issue with yours, but it never hurts to check.

If its bare aluminum, Birchwood Casy Alumablack will make it hidden in a few seconds.

Birchwood Casey Aluminum Black is your friend. It's good on carbon steel as well, or for touching up aluminum rails etc. It's really good at removing brass marks from brass punches on sights.

It could be a case of the dreaded aluma-cancer... ;)
