    how to: polish a mag???

    Hey, I have a classic mag that I just bought used. I have 2 bodies for it and they are both the standard grey color. I hear about people hand polishing mags to make the body shiny and silvery... I was wondering is this hard, or time consuming and how do you do it? what do you use? polish, sandpaper? I have no clue, thanks for your time.

      you'll probaably want a dremel or table griinder with buffer wheel. Also some jewelers rouge or flitz polishing compound.

        Use Wet/Dry sanding paper and some cutting oil

        Start at 400-600 and work your way up to 1000 or higher (I Went up to 4000) Then buff it.

        There was an article i think on Doc's machine that inspired me. It turned out great

        Good Luck.
