    Barrel and trigger polishing

    Hey all, looking for some work on glock barrels and/or internals. Willing to meet up if you're local, or you can ship the parts separate from the gun. If you want the barrel polished, i'll generally throw in polish of the pins and slide lock, also the trigger and all internal surfaces for free, basically anywhere metal contacts metal. It smooths up the trigger pull noticeably. $80 for the barrel. This will not penetrate the Tenifer treatment to the steel of the barrel, which is not a coating or a finish. It will only remove the black coating, so rust protection isn't an issue.

    I can also provide the same polishing treatment to other barrels as well, see further down in the thread for examples.

      Do not round over the corners on the rear of the trigger bar or the Upkick where it contacts the striker. Those edges need to be sharp or you are reducing alot of contact area and asking for trouble.

        Yeah definitely. I do all that carefully by hand, mainly with q-tips.

              looks good. Great polishing job. i gave up trigger work/polishing innerds yrs ago, for obvious reasons. I have done most of my own firearms only because I know i wont file suit against myself.

                        Wow that's amazing. Is this a chemical treatment? Or are you just holding it to a buffing wheel? Wouldn't grinding near the bore affect accuracy? Seems like cleaning would be easier afterwards - no?

                          The only chemical that gets used is vinegar to soften up the black coating. The rest is done mainly by hand, no bench grinders here, lots and lots of elbow grease.

                            How long will the shine on the barrel last?

                              The shine is a product of the flatness of the surface of the metal, so it will last until the metal is scratched, and scratches can be buffed out. The Tenifer is still intact, so the steel isn't any softer.
