M4BGRINGO 139 Posted July 19, 2018 I bought a gun via Gunbroker quite awhile ago. Was an older S&W revolver, and the only reason I bought it was due to the fantastic job someone did polishing it! I have never shot it, just put it safely in the safe! If I can find who I bought it from I'll let you know. That is what he did as a hobby, take apart and polish guns. I don't have the patience.

bhunted 887 Posted July 23, 2018 Polishing isn’t cheap. Was going to have my colt polished and plated.Yikes isn’t the word for it. From what I was told, goes much work to get surface perfect. I can contest to that. I did my SS Raptor by hand. Many hours. Ya check out Accurate? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

glockncolts 48 Posted July 23, 2018 If you have the time to take it apart just about any jewelry place would be able to do it for you I think.. I had two done before but the guy retired. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even taken apart the receiver is still considered a hg. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
