Not that hard, just be consistant with your sanding strokes for a good finish, you can also polish it once you are done sanding. Link to post Share on other sites

But im still not sure <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Toothpaste is actually a good polisher and readily handy, I use it. If you go to the local hardware store they should have a variety of metal compounds and polishes. Just pick whatever sounds best if you dont want to use toothpaste, or try the toothpaste out first.

Thanks! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> uhh i think its king and arms? Not totally sure. i do know its both CCW and CW because there is a thread on both ends. Plus its filled with foam. And I have had absolutely no cycling problems whatsoever. And that was with the weak plastic recoil spring. Even that was fine. I replaced it though with a guarder enhanced recoil spring with a metal rod. Not too much difference except it makes it ALOT more fun to shoot. Link to post Share on other sites

NecronomicoN Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 My KWA Glock 26C. First GBB I ever purchased, and still kicking! KWA G26C Base G&G Threaded Barrel KM 110x30 Suppressor Homemade high-flow valve Custom fitting done to slide interior, frame rails, ejection port front lip and chamber front lip to get it to cycle properly. Slide, suppressor and barrel chamber polished to a mirror shine via dremel, very fine sandpaper, steel wool and lots of spare time. This gun never sees the field for obvious reasons. If I dropped that gun and messed up the slide after the work I put into it, I'd be a sad panda. Its so smooth that the slide feels like it is made of glass. Link to post Share on other sites

Tunershark Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 did you polish that all yourself? if so what was all the stuff you used, like what grit paper and such, i ask because i need to repolish my hi capa lower frame Link to post Share on other sites
clmwrx Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 thats a good start for polishing. You need a tiny bit of work but you are getting there. List the grains used as you may have jumped too far from one to the next. Link to post Share on other sites
NecronomicoN Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Well, since my Glock is over 3 years old, and all the work was done quite a while ago, I cannot specifically name some of the grits. I only used one grit though, and that was the absolute finest grit that was available. The process went a bit like this: Dremel with wire brush attachment to remove the paint. Fine grit sandpaper to get the finish going in one direction. Dremel with wire brush once again. Dremel with polishing disc and compound. 000 Steel wool to final polish - very LONG process but well worth it. All of this was done over the course of 6 months to one year, gradually over time. The silencer was a very easy job - just used the same sandpaper and steel wool (no dremel though). The toughest part of this project was the addition of the new barrel and silencer. Barrels in the KWA Glock series seem to be prone to vertical movement towards the rear, and the added weight of the silencer forced the chamber up too far into the ejection port in the slide, causing the gun to not cycle at all. Also, the hop up unit and inner barrel do not fit that well into the G&G threaded one, and had to be sanded down slightly for it to slide in and not get stuck. Then, to get the gun to cycle properly, I had to sand both the lip of the ejection port on the slide and the front of the barrel chamber to matching 45 degree angles. Only then could the gun cycle and fire reliably. This causes the silencer to sometimes dip down at a slight angle in the front (maybe like a 1 degree tilt downward), but really doesn't effect the performance. The valve I modified in the magazine lets out enough gas to compensate for the added muzzle weight as well, but boosts the velocity beyond forum limits (which is another reason I don't skirmish with this piece, it is simply too powerful for a sidearm). Overall though, it was worth all the work. The slide has a few scratches and imperfections as you can see, but this was my first attempt ever at polishing a slide and in that retrospect I think it turned out alright. Thanks for the comments guys, glad to see people like my work. Link to post Share on other sites

clmwrx Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 That is the thing with polishing guns. Is to decide what grit to stop at. As the finer you go the easier scratches are going to show up. Good job on the polishing tho. (polishing is one thing I am good at that is why I was talking about it ) Link to post Share on other sites
bertherkjoil Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Ok, here's my glock 19 .. Before you guys mention about my polish job.. yup.. it is not perfect yet, still in the process At the moment what I have done was simply using some fine grit sanding sponge and 1000 grit sanding paper to get rid of the paint, smooth the surface abit.. but I think there are still plenty to do before I am happy with it anyway, enjoy!
