I need something that preferably is easy and super quick to use and won't fade or discolor the carbine's finish on the area around the witness line.
    to get rid of my silver sharpie marks I actually use my wifes nail polish remover. It doesnt discolor the finish from my experiences.

    This is a bit overboard, but I guess I'm hunting for an excuse to post it. This is my wife's.

    Your "wife's" huh? Riiiiight... It's okay, man. It's the year 2010, if you want to paint pink shit all over your blaster to show off to the world who you really are deep inside, you can because it's socially acceptable now. You don't have to lie about it or hide it anymore!lololololol!!

    Kidding Shit, if my wife was into shooting in the least bit, I'd paint whatever the **** she wanted on her carbine, so long as it made her want to get out and shoot with me! You lucky friggin' jarhead!!

    I use Uchida paint pens from Michaels. In addition to witness marks on screws, I mark buffer weights with them, number and initial mags, etc.

    I also mark the front of the BCG cam pin so that I reassemble it that way every time. (thanks GotM4)
