Polishing a Glock barrel has anyone done it?

[Squirrel1]

I was thinking of polishing my glock barrel and I was wondering if anyone has done this them self. If anyone has I was wondering what method you used to strip the barrel. Any info helps thanks

Youtube has a couple techs, thing is you can get a lone wolf, kkm, or wilson etc used for around $100 and keep your stock barrel for back up.

The proper way is to sand blast the finish than polish however than you can have rust issues. Get an aftermarket barrel that's already stainless and polish that up.

what bout the barrel loop on the slide that contacts the barrel? is there a need to polish that too? thoughts?

K thanks guys think I'll wait and buy a stainless barrel. Was kinda looking for a inside project since we have been getting hammered with the rain.

Polish your internals, take a dremmel, check out youtube, if you haven't already done it. Just don't overdo it!

you can polish a turd but it's still a turd. Just get a new barrel like kkm and polish that. And you can shoot whatever ammo you want out of it.

Mother's mag polish and alot of rags will make it chrome

Did one of mine last weekend. Self adhesive 220 grit stuck to popsicle sticks, followed by 2000 grit, followed by some metal polish that i had. Spent maybe 4 hours. Not quite mirror finish, but should give me the look that i am after.

Slide is out getting some custom milling work. So, cant speak on functionality yet. Worst case scenario, can get a replacement as mentioned above.

Picture doesn't do it justice.

Worst advice ever. After you "polish" the internal parts, buy new parts, you ruined them.

Throw the Dremmel tool away.

There is nothing you can improve on a Glock. Leave it alone.

LOL.
Polishing is NOT re-shaping.

Polished my barrel and slide on my last glock . Looked great till I noticed it picked up every little oily finger print.

Pretty much what I was thinking....
