[Guest sL1k]

I just got through fitting a egw melt bushing on my colt and ended up doing this.....

Now all back together.

I like it. Looks sharp.

From the title, I was expecting to see a deep gouge on some priceless gun. Dissapointing. But it looks good nonetheless.

What attachment did you use on your dremel to polish it?

I kinda of was thinking of a trip to the ER, good I was wrong.

Looks nice, answer to TMF is what I am looking for as well.

Yeah man, I used a steel wool attachment to take the finish off some pistol mags and shine 'em up, but it was far too abrasive and left some swirl patterns on there. I was looking into polishing up a slide and didn't want to make that mistake on it.

I used the dremel felt polishing wheel, (the 1/2x3/8 wheel). And some turtle wax rubbing compound. Hehe thankfully no injuries. Well except for a polished fingernail :/ but some 600 grit sand paper will fix that.

i couldnt leave well enough alone.. i shipped the slide to Tim Calhoun http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/user/2319-timcalhoun/ today, its going to be flat topped with a dovetail front sight cut and novak rear cut. The unique part will be that the new EGW melt bushing i put on will be flat topped with it! i will be finishing it myself with Duracoat tactical black after i get it back. Ill get pictures up of Tims work before it goes to paint unless he wants to post some up

Your gun is in GREAT hands. Tim does phenominal work.

From what I have seen of his work I have no doubts about that! I have wanted a flat top 1911 for awhile and never considered just sending my slide off until I saw the pictures of his work. I have a feeling after this my kimber is going to end up being sent to him too.

Using the dremel the way I did ended up with a mirror polish. So if you start out with this method you will end up doing the whole gun. From what I am seeing a lot of people have good results with the scotch pad method. Just Google removing scratches from stainless guns.

Whichever method you use take your time and go slow.

When can you do mine?
