Savage polish project

[Dummos]

Thought I would give my f-class savage 12 a bit of a polish up and post the results http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/09/20/132b42c5332f4c1d3b8c47faf3cb42b1.jpg

If you could get the inside of my barrel that shiny, I'd give you a dollar...

Really though, getting a polish like that and keeping sharp edges is no easy feat, great job.

[gotcha]

Yes, great job keeping the edges sharp! I guess you CAN make a silk purse from a sows ear :)

unreal!

Ooohhhh, polish as in shine it up.

I thought maybe you were going to paint it the colors of the flag of Poland.

Looks great just the same. Nicely done.

How did you do it?

[243LPR]

I'm guessing polishing media and buffer wheel?

[Dummos]

Only used the buffer wheel for a final polish. The bolt handle was cast, it had cast lines and pits etc so I started with a stone dremel attatchment there. Then just good old sandpaper on a block. Started at 320 grit and went 400,600,800,1200 Then the buffer wheel. If you started with a buffer wheel and coarse compound you would definitely round off you edges which noone wants.
