   1) Do you notice any increase in ‘slop’ after polishing?

   2) Do you ever go back with any kind of coating?

   3) Sand paper first? Even with a very light grit, I would thing you might remove hardened surfaces? what about steel wool?

   I know some manufacturers put a protective finish on these parts, I wouldn’t do it. Too each his own.

   As a machinist I can tell you it’s pretty easy to polish your “flavor of the month” plating right off the substrate. Stupid idea.

   ^^ Agree. Any such polishing should be done after HT, and before surface treatment is applied.

   Why not just buy a nickel-boron coated bolt? We had one on the shop POF-416 machinegun. And after 16,000 rounds it just looked slicker. Not even close to being worn off.
   With that and a roller cam pin. Your bolt should work under any feasible circumstances one could put it under. Especially cold weather.
   Couple it up with a barrel extension treated to same. Shooting suppressed we found it plugged up magazines quicker than the action.

    I polish the brass eyelets on my boots. Only the points where the shoelace actually touches the eyelets using special boot eyelet polish and my unplugged dremel. I finish up using special eyelet lube on my shoelaces. Now I’m high speed. Amazing difference!

    Red Man,fine,you are high speed.

    The real question though is are you “low ground”?

    James, I’m so low I have to look up to see down!

    Well,I am satisfied Red Man!

    You win the “Tacticool”guy of the week award(suitable for framing).

    I now need to head back to me grinder to work on some bolt faces,no worries/using the finish wheel.
