My question is on the G3c I recently bought, the one I bought and I just didn't notice this at the store is that some polymer flashing or burr was left on the rear of the frame. I was gonna ignore it but my ocd wouldn't let me and it was long enough to snag a little on my nylon type shirts. I seem to let my ocd get worse just recently, i've owned gun for over 40 years and had some real knock arounds that never bothered me but now I have trouble accepting something not just right. Scratching one while in real use doesn't bother me as that is memories but this is different. Part of me says its fine and since the gun shoots great leave it be, then another part wants to get it nice and smooth but if I mess up then I will probably sell the gun at a loss. So in the beginning I decided to use a razor blade and file and take just enough off so it wouldn't snag. I did just that but with limited tools I couldn't get it looking real good and even tho it won't snag now, I just don't know whether to keep trying to get it real smooth or leave it be now. I did use a Sharpie paint marker to darken the light spots and it did. So from the pic, what y'all think? Would you keep working on it till completely smooth, or would you leave as is? Here is a pic of my first try, should I continue or leave it be? Thanks for any help.

Ok, I did a little more work, I guess my ocd got the best of me. I think I have it enough because I don't want to go too far. Here are a few pics of after and thanks.
