Have been polishing some gun barrel and receivers (by hand) for preparation for re-bluing using wet/dry sandpaper.
Usually start with 220 grit (but occasionally start with 150), then go to 400 then to 600.
Does pretty good job but even at 600 grit can still see VERY FINE circular lines around length of barrel or other gun parts.
Have not tried anything beyond 600 grit because it can not be had locally.
Is there some method or polishing media that would allow for final polished barrel to have a mirror like finish, i.e. no fine circular lines around the barrel ?
Thanks.
