[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1093262, member: 90399"] I have a few triggers that work like poop... gritty and heavy... I've been on a quest to research DIY trigger jobs and it seems like there are just tons of opinions and ways guys polish the metal components of a trigger system. A couple of these guns are cheap (Hi Points) and not really worth bringing to a gunsmith. Plus I like to tinker anyways. So If I'm just looking to polish metal, should I use like 3000 grit sandpaper? Very gentally and slow? When would I use "wet sanding" versus dry sanding? I have a Dremel tool and tried the cloth buffing wheel on some Mosin Nagant parts but it seemed to do nothing. Someone suggested to use some car polish compound on the cloth buffing wheel, which also didn't seem to help. Maybe I just need to work at it longer? I did for about 30 minutes. Are there any specific Dremel attachments that work good for polishing that won't take away the metal? Thanks everyone! I appreciate your opinions on this. [/QUOTE]
