Hey guys,
It's been a while, but hope all is well in OleoLand.
I have just started a new nerdy project. Nothing that will change the world, but still, I wanted to share it with you guys.
The idea is to see if polishing the standard shooting barrels will yield any performance increase big enough that it is worth doing. This of course is hard to measure, and what one man deems "big enough" wont be worth the hassle for another.
I will make this thread a work-in-progress thread as I just did the initial tests today. More to come in the coming days.
It's taken a while to find the tools needed for the polishing itself, but I finally did. I shopped around a bit online in China and found the right bits and bobs. The pics should be pretty self explanatory - there's a power drill missing, but that's about it:
Here are the polishing bits and chucks. The chuck was the missing part of the puzzle for a long time
I cut a 3mm steel rod to length to attach to the chuck onto
I bought a range of different polishing pastes. I think they are used for polishing gems
