I am gathering parts for a retro AR and have found a couple of M16A1 uppers that seem to have some sort of deteriation of the metal. Does anyone have an opinion as to the cause of this? Would this render an upper unsuitable for use? Could it be repaired and refinished?
Metal in the affected areas can be flaked off with a fingernail.
