Thread: chamber polisher

thanks for the replies its an interesting discussion ive just finished polishing it up not sure how familiar people are with the h&r handi they have a cult following in the us before I started the chamber was black in side I ended up using a shotgun patch holder with a patch wrapped around it and some toothpaste I found that said it had tungsten carbide in it I screwed a rod adaptor onto the patch and put it in the drill its quite handi as you can take the barrel off and hold it in the vice and get straight at it I kept at it for ages until the chamber is nice and shiny lots of carbon came out I thought toothpaste would be the safest bet as it wont be an aggressive polishing compound and that's why it took a while I didn't want to remove any extra metal just remove the high spots I did a bit extra just around the cut out where the extractor goes incase there were slight burrs from when the machining was done theres a lot of stuff ive read so far on the internet about the problem a mechanical extractor would be the go ive got some rounds loaded up to do some load development on it so that will be the test it to windy here today tho
