Congrats on a very nice first 1911

. Sucks about the scratch. It is par for the course. I am veeeery familiar with the idiot scratch (unfortunately).

I used 0000 very fine steel wool and a good amount of gun oil, and rubbed and rubbed by hand. It helped quite a bit, but the scratch is still noticeable on my stainless SA Champion. Might have to rub some more this weekend -- now that I'm thinking about it.

Others, more experienced, will likely chime in with a better way to do it.
