Polishing your slide yourself?

[ar15junkie]

OK, say I get the guts to do this..lol

I know I want to go in one direction, but do you run the slide in just one direction ONLY, ie: forward, lift, forward, lift, forward etc? or do you do it in one direction, but back and forth?

Does that make sense?

You don't need to lift between strokes. Remember we're trying to avoid changing the shape of your slide in any way. So let the weight of the slide do the work. Just use your fingers to move it back and forth.

Heres one I polished up a few years ago.

Looks good!

Thanks for the advice, I MIGHT try it again. Replacement slides are only $50..
