1000 ways to polish a chamber?

[Hargrave]

Tornado ....

I have one of those Chinese 1878's coming soon for myself .... did you use the 800 Grit only or did you start with rougher and work your way up?

Just wondering as I am looking to do some polishing myself after I receive and take to the range for a test.

I also hear that putting a little time to buffing out the barrel lock lugs will help the gun open and close easier too.

Thanks,
Jake

One more question ....

When polishing the chambers ... what do you do about the barrel throat? Is that an issue ?

Thanks
