Varmint Receiver Polished Up

After a few hours of sanding with 320, 400, and 600 grit along with some Blue Magic metal polish cream, here are the results.

Wow nice job. You for sure ruled that thing out for a deer rifle with that shine.

Thanks..

The bling action will be used as a paper punching rifle while the non-polished one will be going towards a hunting rifle build.

Cheers!

The sun's reflection off the metal will blind you and everyone else on the line! :)

Nice. Real nice.

Looks good but if you really want it to look like a mirror, have it bead blasted then use 400,600,1500 then your metal polish. You will be able to floss your teeth in it, lol. The bead blasting homogenizes the surface and blends the slightly deeper imperfections. Here is a stiller I did.

Dadgum! I had to run grab my sunglasses.. Thats a really good looking receiver there. I actually thought about bringing the action up to that level of shine but then decided to bring it up enough to match the barrel shine with the brushed stainless look. Having ordered a bench grinder and some polishing wheels, I am pretty sure than I will eventually shine it up like yours.

Btw, what stock is that?

Cheers!

Simichrome Polish does an amazing job on a cloth wheel......
