how do i take this gawd awful green garbage off my axial links and rings?

Haha, I assume you mean the anodised finish! Not for everyone I guess! There are a few ways, but be warned, the anodising is a protective barrier against corrosion.

Oven cleaner and a brilo pad works well, but do not leave the parts in the cleaner for too long as they will start to pit.

or

Wet/dry sand paper a higher grit to get a smoother finish.

or

Greased lightning, same kind of method as oven cleaner.

A good idea would be to get the parts powder coated or lacquered
