Orange Tip
 
Hello, I was wondering...How do you remove the orange tip on the KWC Desert Eagle .50AE?

is the slide metal? if so, brake fluid, soak it it for however long it takes.

I find it easier to use Acetone (nail polish remover) on orange tips. Bad experience with brake fluid, it can soak into the metal and lift up, over time, any new paint.

What about completely removing the orange tip, as in like...opening up the gun or something.

sabermetrics August 6th, 2008 00:50

depends what type of tip you have on... some guns have a removable tip in which it is an extra piece that can be pulled from the barrel with some force. If not, then it is a blaze tip, in which the slide is painted with the orange tip. In this case, you have to remove the paint, as it is not a seperate piece... i use acetone also, although small amounts at a time, if your gun has a coat of paint already underneath the orange tip

It's the one where it's just an orange piece sticking out. So you're saying I can just pull it out with pliers or something? Wouldn't that leave some extra orange plastic stuff inside the gun, or would it just completely come off?

I have the same gun as you it is a orange plug get a bottle cap fill it with acetone dip the barrel in for about 5 minuts and pull of the plug with pliers there shuld be no reidue.

ask a sister, mom,frend or a goth/gutter punk for nail polish remover.
Go to a hard ware store and get mild paint thiner. Ask a clurk if you have truble.

you can buy that shit just about anywhere. wal-mart, drug stores, grocery stores. you dont have to do stupid shit like that to get your hands on some. oh and buy it in the bottle and not the little sponge filled tub. its gonna be in a cosmetics aisle with nail polishes

i found that using steel wool with acetone works real well while everythings still wet. then you just take some buffer cloth and buff everything back to a shine
