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!
