Forum rules


As with any great game there are rules.

1: This is a Family Site that means:
__ a: No sexually explicit pictures or avaters.
__ b: No vulgar profanity. (Keep it PG)
__ c: No personal insults (Argue the point, not the person.)

2: Keep all political/religious debates civil. Different viewpoints are good. Hating someone for that different is bad.

3: No "smack-talk" of someone elses gun. Every gun is a Heirloom to it's owner.

4: No spamming or fly-by-night sales. This isn't free-advertising.com! Go sell your stuff somewhere else.

5: If you don't like guns or shooting hobbies, go somewhere else! There are other places to go that feel that way and would love you to join them. Let us enjoy our hobby!

6: Have fun! You're here to relax and enjoy yourself. Keep it light and don't get caught up in the gun-smoke!

Wow! You polished the heck out of it. :goodjob: Man it looks good. I had to polish the brass on my bosses Model T many times and I know how much work that is.

I gotta admit, when I read the title for this post I was thinking you got "scallops" or a skull design on your grips to compete with Ape's flame job. :funny:

Just a Dremel with various grits of compound sticks mostly. I do have a small 4" cotton buff with rouge on my bench grinder for the larger areas. Once I get the whole thing done like this to reveal all the deeper scratches, I'll go back over those problem areas with 800-2000 grit wet/dry paper and then re-buff.
So far, the toughest areas, and one's that'll need more work, have been the cylinder and hammer.

If I could find one I'd think about it, sure.

After approx. 30 hrs. I'm takin' a break.

You can see that the polishing and buffing brought the deeper scratches into view and those areas now get treated to some sandpaper before a rebuff. That'll bee the most time consuming part. Just removing enough material to make it smooth.
Got all winter to do it though. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
