use a dremel tool and mothers mag polish. I know you have an a5 but look here, http://www.model98.net/mod3.html there's an article in the mods section that'll tell you how to do it.

fixed the link, a dremel tool is a rotary tool that you can get polishin bits for. Just borrow one from somebody or you could use steel wool.

I think with steel wool you don't need polish, i'm no sure though. It takes a long time with steel wool.  I've heard of people messing up their markers from taking too much metal off.

use only 0000 grade steel wool or 000 grade. anything stronger and you could take off a lil too much. just lightly rub it and get the paint residue off, not a hard scrubbing, just use a little elbow grease. once all the paints off, rub the inside down with rubbing alcohol to clean it well, wipe it dry, then apply the mother mag. once again use elbow grease, though this time it dont matter how hard you rub. make it nice and shiny, put on a few coats and youre all set. make sure to clean off all excess polish or youl gum up your internals. honestly, you would have to use a very coarse steel wool or sandpaper and use it on the inside for a while to do serious damge. just use the 0000 and 000 grade wool and youll be fine. i did it 4 times now with my and friends markers no problem. youll be amazed at how well it improves the markers air usage. make sure you got an rva, cause someitmes you might be shooting too hot once its polished, so you might need to lower the drive spring tension. if you got any questions. feel free to ask, or email me at reapermen@aol.com. good luck bro

oh yeah, theyre are going to be some imperfections in the aluminum inside of the receiver, you cant fix those, so dont try to rub them out, you just have to deal with them.

Polishing your internals will reduce friction inside the gun which allows for a smoother mechanism, and less wear! This is a very popular and easy to do mod, every M98 owner should try it.

Procedures: Take your gun completely apart. You should only have the two receiver halves. Wash your gun with warm water and soap to get rid of any oil or residue which will make polishing more difficult. Be sure to completely dry it with a clean towel.

There are a few ways you can do this mod. I’m going to cover the most popular

First method is to use a Dremel rotary tool.

You’ll need: A Dremel tool


Polishing wheel for your Dremel


Mothers Mag Aluminum Polish (or other brand)


This is by far the easiest way to polish, as electricity does all the work

Use a polishing wheel and apply aluminum polish (Mothers Mag brand is best). Turn on your Dremel and polish the areas shaded by the picture.


When your polishing wheel gets dirty or loses all its polish, apply more. Keep going until the metal becomes a shiny silver color. It should start to look like this:

Wash and dry the gun again to get rid of the polish residue and dust.

------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------

The next method of polishing requires more effort. Use these if you do not have access to a Dremel.

You will need this: Steel wool


Depending on what you’re stamina and how strong you are this could take a while. Don’t stop until the metal looks like the picture farther up this page. Polish only the blue shaded areas in the picture above.

Assemble the gun as normal, REMEMBER TO RE-LUBRICATE* THE GUN, and enjoy a smoother operating M98/M98c!

*You can use the conventional method of using gun oil, or you can try
using
graphite.

impyking is telling him ho to polish a 98c cause he just copied that off model98.net without giving them any credit. Now as for polishing an a-5 is even easier. Just take out all the internals then follow the steps they gave you. Of cleaning it out with rubbing alcohol. Then 000 steel wool to take off all the ruffness from inside. Then use more rubbing alcohol to clean out the little bits of steel wool. Then take some mothers mag put it on a clothon and rub it on the inside of your gun till it starts to shine and become well polished loooking. Then let it sit. Oil it and put it back together.
