i think i may have started a mini polishing revolution here
i wasnt aiming for the kind like finish on the inside of my barrels that would rival the polishing job done on the hubble telescope mirror. but a light polish just to help the balls along a bit better.
I was mostly just worried about making the gun not work by polishing stuff, but if i cant technically break it, ill prob give it a go this weekend and report back.
and OH YEAH HE DID!!!
Just use warm water. Then no cleanup.I am newbies here and also in this games. who ones could suggest me what is really the best polisher to buy for my guns? And i am not really good in dismantling just to clean up, takes me a couple of hours to do it..is anyone i can go to, just for clean up?
Just wondering, please indulge me. Did you polish the bolt, and then put grease/lube all over it?right so i didnt polish the insides of the barrel as i decided this would be 1 hard to get in and 2 even harder to get out so i stuck with giving the bolt a light polish
firstly i stripped the bolt completely down to component level and removed all o-rings from the bolt. i stuffed the inside of the bolt with toilet tissue to prevent any polish leaking inside the bolt. i then applied a small amount of polish at a time to either side of the bolt sail, and the tophat portion, then with a soft dry cloth i removed any polish residue and reassembled the bolt.
upon doing a firing test i did notice that the bolt seemed to move a bit smoother, i havent got access to a chrono at the moment so i havent checked if i will be able to lower the Lpr, however the bolt does feel a bit more free to move about, i dont think it would have as much effect on newer guns but on a 3 year old DM7 it has definatly done something positive if only slight. took me about 10 minutes from start to finish including regreasing.
im not going to reccomend doing this to anyone, as its purely your desicion to try this or not. but i can say that i did get a result, a small result but worth 10 minutes of my evening.
but to answer your question briefly, i greased all parts that are nessasary to grease, i did not do the common norm of throwing half a tube of lube on the fecking thing. i lightly greased the orings, even the o-rings without lube slid over the bolt with ease. and the bolt performed "the shake test" notably easier than it did previously.Just wondering, please indulge me. Did you polish the bolt, and then put grease/lube all over it?
