Guys I have been contemplating a few projects lately. I have completed most as of yet now I need to polish a few bolts that have not been blued. They have your 100year old blemishes on them. I dont want to turn them into chrome, But just freshen them up a bit to make every thing look Like the rest. Cal30 What do you suggeast? a 1200 grit sand paper or what? I will not want to take to much off. But Just enough to them look more brilliant... I have a decent Dremmel also that I can use instead of send paper. Help me out here...

I second the scotch brite. You won't remove any material and it will give it a uniform finish www.KLStottlemyer.com Deport the Homeless and Give the Illegals citizenship. AT LEAST THE ILLEGALS WILL WORK | |||

If you have polishing wheels for your Dremel and some compound , you can finish with it ! 800 grit to knock off the dark spots , smooth with 1000 grit then polish . Don't forget to have your Liberals spayed or neutered ! | |||

I have used 600 grit wet/dry, followed by corcus cloth, followed by 0000 steel wool to remove a bad "jewel" job on a mauser extractor. Seemed to work pretty well and took less than 15 minutes. Barstooler. | |||

Could you please put up before & after photos. I have 3 bolts that I need to clean up & possibly rust blue one day. "When the wind stops....start rowing. When the wind starts, get the sail up quick." | |||
