Your welcome. Post pics when your done and let me know if you would like to do another. I have a HL body that I got off of a gun from ebay that is about half way finished!

Alright, ill post pix...about how long do you think this will take? any clue?

[ChucktheMAGician]

An hour and a half is what I've heard, I guess I need to try a little harder to find sandpaper w/ that high of a grit count.

My local Hardware store didnt have 1000 grit it took me 3 hours to polish 2day, and im not done...but it shines in the sun! Ill post pix of my mag when im done

what's the best way to polish it if you have no access to a buffer? :-/

I have heard it is a good weekends worth of work, and you should just get some heavy grit then work your way up to the smaller grit paper. (or maybe its vice versa)

[impostal22]

ya but after you sand it down all the way from 300 grit to 1000+ grit, what's a way to polish it without using a buffer?

[Demobilized]

There used to be an awsome thread on here that had all the steps, anyone rember the name?

There is some type of cream that has sand in it that you can rub on and it will act as a polish ~ look at you local hardware store
