Newbie Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 How do you go about buffing the inside of a mag tube? I use a bench grinder with a polishing wheel and buff my mag tubes to a mirror like finish . My question is how do you buff inside the mag tubes? I have seen very slick mag tubes buffed inside, how did they do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay1 Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 maybe with a dremel tool or some other type of ratory tool. Be careful not to over polish where you remove metal and it is shiny but not a flat surface any longer. Personally I am just wipping my mags clean and then I spray them with a dry silicone which makes them supper slick. Is everyone else polishing their mags? I shoot a Glock G34, do you polish the plastic mags as well? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFD Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 I've been using a non-scratch scotch-brite pad on the inside of my para tubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catfish Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Something that my gunsmith, Larry T up in Missouri did for my new blaster was to drop the mag tubes into a tumbler with polishing media. Those mags are undoubtably the smoothest feeding mags I've ever used. My buddy sgtglock did the same thing and he loves it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin c Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Brownells sells polishing grit in a rubbery stick form. I used those inside my Para tubes. Lotsa sweat, but man, were they slick. Then I got smart, and had Beven Grams do them. After polising and chroming, they are nearly mirror finish inside and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear1142 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Don't mess with polishing. Have you mags coated with any one of the various teflon polymer finishes. It makes them very slick inside and out. They also clean up very fast. Just pull a rag through them and your finished. It may cost a little bit, but it's definitely worth it.

cking Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Some mags like the para have some pretty nasty bumps on the seam welds. Take a file smooth them down. Clean up all the sharp edges of the feed lips with dremel tool and cratex and polish them up. Check the width of feed lips front and rear, they had tendency to vary alot. If you have mag that nose dives alot probably front of feed lips are tight. Then put some sort of non-sticky lube on them inside and out. I like car wax. Sand doesn't stick and can air cleans them out, even after landing in the sand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Law Dawg Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 I've used scotch brite pad wrapped around a dowel that is thick enough to enter the tube snuggly. This method has worked good for me in the past... law dawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
