the best way to get rid of pitting on a project rifle

[valboskie]

Once you've removed the worst of the pitting, you can save a lot of time an elbow grease by using a simple polishing kit which attaches to a regular electric drill.

Caswell's have a handy downloadable polishing guide on their website. I fixed the drill to a workbench and then move the piece over the appropriate wheel. After all the hard work with papers this is the fun bit!

I bought one of these when doing the FWB 150, £10 well spent, especially if you intend doing other rifles. It was in a similar condition to your Falcon, and needed the 80 grit treatment to start with then through the grades and finished with the polishing kit. End result.

You're results are phenomenal mate .
That looks better than factory. Im still struggling to get the pitting out I've done the 80 grit
I used a file on the worst bits but it cut deeper than some of the pitting.
It is a learning curve. I have another rifle to do in worse condition so I want to learn what I can with this one.

Did you use the polishing kit to get rid of the pitting or was all the pitting gone before you started polishing.
My update photos look better than the action in the flesh I thought id be further on to be honest
Sanding is so boaring lol
I was thinking of buying a grinding wheel and buying some polishing mops for it
To save a bit of labour but im not sure if it will work.
Has anyone tried this method to get the pitting out.
