Part 2 of this project, see Part 1 here
When we left off we were still trying to remove the pits with 100 grit sand paper, once I had 90% of the pits removed, I stepped up to 150 grit
Then 220 grit
280 grit
320 grit
And finally 400 grit
Then it was time to get the small parts prepped, on this one we only had one take down screw, the charging handle and rear sight
The rear sight had some deep pitting just like the barrel did
After sanding and burnishing with the wire wheel
Take down screw needed some saving. First I wrapped the threads with tape
Then put the screw in my vise and tapped the metal back into place
Then using my drill, I polished the surface with sandpaper to a 400 grit
Stay tuned for Part 3
I'm liking this one, I will stay tuned!!
