How to make a shiny barrel
step 1. aquire a dremel kit
step 2. take out the grinding tool
step 3. plug it in
step 4. put it on a med-high speed
step 5. press it agains outside of barrel, rub and do 2 coats
step 6. wash barrel
step 7. put the dremel kit back
Does that clear of how i made it shiny, and if you dont beleive me, try it yourseld with the stock barrel if you have it.
*may want to buffer it a bit too, so its smoother*

My version of how to make it shiny
*You do this at your own risk!*
step 1: take the barrel off step 2: get a sledge hammer step 3: get a nail step 4: smash the barrel with the sledge hammer, optionally try to put a nail through the porting
Does that clear of how i made it shiny, and if you dont beleive me, try it yourseld with the stock barrel if you have it. |

If you click on view image on the picture of the barrel up close you
get a close look at how bad of a job he did. Your porting is all
screwed up not to mention your barrel thread. Why?

Oh yeah, i filed it again, and took all the scratches the dremel made, and sanded it, and took a buffer wheel. It works fine, and it doent affect preformance, and check this out, i was talking to someone about trading my A-5, and he thought that the barrel was a aftermarket barrel, and he couldn't beleive that it was stock.

Date Posted: 22 March 2004 at 7:35pm
Ok, i learned my lesson, but now i sanded it with 120 for a long time, then wet sanded it with. Then, finaly it look good, but i knew that i could do better. I wiped out my dremel with and borrowed a wire brush from Pigtail99. I read the dremel instruction book, and learned to use it lightly, so i skimed the barrel, and now its all shiny. I will post pics when tommarow when its day, cuz my camera shows light from electricity red.

YOU CAN GET THE SAME EFFECT BY TYING YOUR BARREL TO THE BUMPER OF YOUR CAR AND DRIVING AROUND AS YOU NORMALLY WOULD FOR ABOUT A WEEK.
OR THROW IT IN THE GARBAGE DISPOSAL... DONT TURN IT OFF... JUST LET IT GRIND IN THERE... IT WILL FINISH ITSELF.
