Dehorning Tri Top

[MikeRush]

I am taking care of the last details before I get my new blaster hard chromed and I've never had a tri topped gun before. I was thinking of a slight bevel around the ejection port just to smooth things up a bit. At A2 we had a guy bleed all over his Glock after clearing a malfunction and caused me to think about this. I would like to prevent that from happening to me.

Any thoughts or picture examples? I want to wind up with something that looks clean but doesn't draw blood.I was thinking I could run the stone or file just at a 45 degree angle on all the flats, or maybe just take a shallower bevel on the corners.

Use a flat stick like a paint stirrer with some 400-600 grit sand paper. You should get a feel really quick about how to finish the job without over cutting. Should only take a few swipes.

youll be there a year dehorning with 400 grit. throw that puppy in a vise and go to town shoeshining with 220-280 grit 3m or norton abrasive shop rolls.

And yet, it's never taken me more than 5 minutes.

I cleaned up the sharp edge on this slide just now. 4 swipes with 400 grit took down the knife edge that used to be here. The right side of the hood recess is often very sharp after a tri top and is taken care of with fine diamond files. I'll also use diamond files to chamfer the ejection port.

Thank you gentlemen I will break out the paper and soften this up a tad!
