So, ive recently decided to give my receiver some needed tender care and lovin'

It regards a Well MB08 receiver (basically any L96 receiver or any bolt action for that matter would benefit from this), where I polished the inside of the receiver, where the bolt runs.

This resulted in a great increase in smoothness of the bolt!

(it now cycles forward, by simply tilting the rifle down!)

It works especially well with a well-polished cylinder outer body too!

Yeah but the Raven Cylinder doesnt polish that well...its that weird hardened steel

 

[Gazzie]

What polish did you use?

I should definitely try this, although, what did you do to make the piston move more smoothly inside the cylinder?

On a separate note, what is your cylinder + cylinder head combo, how much did it cost and where did you get them, if you don't mind me asking =)

Its the Raven Cylinder set with a PDI Vacuum piston. I modified my cylinderhead and piston head with foam and some rubbers to keep the foam out of the way of the vacuum valve. There should be a pic of my piston on the forum somewhere...

I actually did not change anything on the cylinder or piston, i purely polished the receiver by:
-Sanding with 600+ grit (Wet)
-polishing with polishing compound (Came with the rotary tool) with a cotton rag.
-Buffing more with "Chrome polish" but you could even use toothpaste.

Is the receiver stock or after market? That polish is impressive @[email protected]

Stock receiver, primed and painted over with Krylon ultra flat black (that stuff is soo damn sexy to look at)

I've also did my TM G36K RS gearbox a while back. The top side is unpolished, and the lower is obviously polished.
