That's a guide for a 98 but it will work on an A5 too.

This was a post by TheGuy in the "Gun Maintenance and Repair" Forum Uber Sticky.

Class3 how to polish your internals (class2 was lost in the forum change)

 

Welcome to yet another class by Theguy. This time we are going over how to polish your internals. Please note your availability to tools may not be as abundant as mine, so you may have to improvise.

Lets start out shall we.

Start off by taking apart the halves of your receiver. This is for the 98 and A-5, closed body receivers are much more difficult.

Take apart the body halves and clean them up the best you can.

Note- my internals are already polished, pretend they arn't.

I used the plastic brush attachments on my Dremel to clean everything up. The Dremel can also be used as an alternative to a bench grinder.

Now set yourself up a err umm........ clean workspace.

I chose to use the benchgrinder for this demonstration, its size makes it easier to photograph, and I don't have to hold it, freeing up my camera hand.

Apply a polishing compound to your polishing cloth/wheel

Take your body and press it to the wheel gently at first then rougher later. Make large sweeping strokes with the body, making sure to polish everything evenly. Tilt the body both away and toward you to get the tops and bottom.

Reapply some compound and do the other half. In my process there are 2 different grades of compound. Apply your second grade and repeat the process. Then get a clean rag and wipe away any residue. Don't worry if your wheel/cloth turns black, this is from the Nickel coming out of the aluminum.

Wipe everything clean and reassmble. Only polish until the sides are smooth and shiny, if you keep going you could remove too much metal.

The benefits of polishing should be apparent when you firt gas it up. By creating a smooth surface for the bolt to slide across, you reduse the friction and your air efficiency goes up. When I polished my internals my velocity shot up about 150 fps, I had to screw in my velocity screw all the way in , just to shoot 280. With adjustments from an RVA or a reg, you could get more shots out of your tank and run at amuch lower pressure.


Yeah, it helps with consistancy, velocity, ROF, and it looks pretty.
