I am wanting to clean up some actions. I am not wanting to make them perfect or "ready to blue" I just want to cut down on the time a gunsmith will have to charge me to get them looking better. Mostly I want to remove the old bluing and any surface rust that may have started.
Any way I looked through some old posts and have found MSC Industrial supply. Now what do I do? What brand, size and grit do I need? What do I do when they arrive?
Wes, a couple of years ago Jack Belk posted a bunch of files on polishing and stoning. If you'll PM your e-mail addy to me, I'll send them back to you...

Thanks for any info, hints and opinions.

Jack Belk recommended the "EDM" stones from MRC in the tutorial someone mentioned above. They are hard as woodpecker lips and really maintain their flatness.
