Paulyski 2,227 Posted February 10, 2010 Report To shape, I used a fine dremmel sanding drum. To smooth, I used abrasive prep pads on a drill. Dremmel also makes abrasive buffs, but I have a bunch of drill mount pads that I got cheap, so I saved the dremmel buffs for tighter quarters work in the future. To polish, I used the dremmel, with wool pads & red polishing compound. I only addressed the areas that move against the shells & hammer as the bolt rotates, extracts & feeds & the carrier re-cocks the hammer. I did not remove as much steel as some do, due to the fact that I fire a lot of 3" magnum & don't wish to compromise the integrity of my bolt. It now cycles even smoother than before & loading mags on a closed bolt is easier. Quote Link to comment
G-Code 0 Posted February 15, 2011 Report I can't wait to get my parts in so I can start my conversion!!! They will be here tomorrow. I plan to mirror polish my bolt as well. I watched a few youtube video's on this but they didn't use a dremel. I was thinking that a dremel would save my fingers from arthritis. Do you use some type of wax or polish to keep it from rusting?
