[QUOTE="Catt57, post: 2737701, member: 34578"] The first step was to break it completely down. Removing everything from the sights to the trigger and lifter assemblies. [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i.imgur.com_0MpMEvq.jpg[/IMG] I started sanding the barrel with 120 grit sandpaper and discovered just how extensive the pitting was.

A final polish with 0000 steel wool and this is how it looks. [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i.imgur.com_hyGQPTh.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
