    Morning everyone. Certainly a Monday. On the plus side, the ignition kit for the prodigy comes in today, so at least I have that to look forward to, after that I’ll be getting a toolless guide rod, new trigger shoe and bow, slide stop, and mag release.

    Continued prayers for everyone struggling!

    Quick question for you all, what do you guys use to polish your parts? What I was mostly seeing was to use Flitzs metal polish and a fine grit file or dremel with a felt or cotton wheel. I was wondering if you guys had any input.

    The answer would be as little as possible to achieve the desired result.

    Seriously.

    I would rather do a little more work with a less aggressive method than go in hard and fast. Keep in mind - I am not a professional - I just have a keyboard and the internet.

    In order: Flitz is great with a microfiber towel. Felt wheels are great. 2000 grit for polish only (or other grits, as needed). Some 1000 grit wet/dry sandpaper if some roughness. Polishing stones, as required and lastly, files when its gotta go.

    Left Vienna and sailing towards Budapest tonight. Visited the summer palace today in Vienna, it’s good to be an emperor (irregardless of the inbreeding and people wanting you dead). 2600 room summer place ;)

    I would also rather take my time, so thank you for that. All I really need to do is make sure all of the surfaces on this new ignition kit are without burrs and as smooth and effectively moving as possible.

    I did plan on rounding off the top edge of the hammer face for smoother cycling so I might need a file or sandpaper, it just depends on how sharp of an angle it is I suppose. If that’s not a good idea, feel free to talk me out of it, I’m all ears.
