Eastbound and down!

I'll tell you what I did. First I thoroughly cleaned the cylinder face with Simple Green. Then with a microfiber cloth I hand rubbed a dab of Flitz on it, then hand buffed it off. This revealed where the milling marks were. I used 800 grit paper and some oil to slowly go over the cylinder face, until it got most marks removed. Any oil works. I used a honing oil. I chucked a buffing wheel in a drill press and used some rouge to buff out the scratches. Remaining few scratches were sanded with a 1000 grit (and oil) paper. Buffed again. Final buff used Flitz. Take your time.

New kid on the block here with ham radio. Got my license in November. There are many SASS members who are experienced in this area, as you can see. If there is a ham radio club in your area, sit in at one of their meetings. You will get a wealth of information as to what works best in your area since the members will be local. We are fortunate to have several active clubs in SW Missouri, and I have learned more in 20 minutes over a cup of coffee than hours of internet searches. Good luck. (also enjoying the image of a revolutionary war soldier working a radio)

A smooth surface is less likely to trap and hold gunk. I polished the front of my cylinders (not removing material, just removing machining marks) so the crud has no place to stick. What does stick is easily wiped away with any of the solutions others have mentioned. Did the same to the powder bars on my Dillon powder measure. Noticeable improvement. Action much smoother and also easier to clean up.

Chicago 4th of July Slaughter Numbers Are In – Guns Save Life

I like to post 2A items in TEAM SASS on Friday so folks can peruse them over the weekend. When I saw it wasn’t going on and saw other posts were hours old, I figured the server had a late night and was taking some time off.

Please feel free to trot this one out when some pearl clutcher is demanding "enhanced" background checks for gun purchases/owners. Pre-trial release for a gun crime (which I still can't wrap my head around) so the suspect can commit ANOTHER gun crime. But we need more background checks, license fees, mandatory training, ad nauseum. Also click on the link about the "not horrible" stories just above the chart in the article.
