Can anyone provide some details as to what parts (internal) should be polished on the XD? I'd like to do this, but don't know where to start.

Thanks.

basically.... anywhere metal touches metal.

I just did my feed ramp

 

[agalindo]

I did the feedramp, breech face, and chamber. On the chamber and breech face I did all the work manualy just to make sure I didn't take any metal away.

 

[Lumberjack98]

Did you use a Dremmel or something similar?

 

[agalindo]

I did it by hand with very fine ( I think it was 1600 grit) sand paper and steel wool.

Thanks. I'll make sure I say hi to your son this weekend. Has he done this to his XD?

 

[agalindo]

Thanks. He asked me about polishing but has never told me if he did it.

 

[Lumberjack98]

Could I do this with a Dremmel with a polishing wheel? Or do you think that may take off to much?

 

[agalindo]

Alot of people have used a dremel you just have to be carefull. I used a dowel for the ramp and chamber and a popcycle stick for the breech face.

 

[Lumberjack98]

I like the dowel and popcycle stick ideas. I was trying to figure out how to do that.

dremel buffing wheel and jewlers rouge plus my bro is a former jewler and had some trick rubber polishing bits that work wonderful to polish but the buffing pad and rouge works wonderful.. both of my 2 and my partners have a nice mirror finish on feed ramp sears ect.. all your old school smiths will tout to never use a dremel tool of any type on any gun part but you just need common sence and patence something we are in short supply of these days.. just my .02 worth

 

[Lumberjack98]

Thanks indian bullet. Maybe I'll pick up some of the jewelers rouge and try that.

If you polish the sear, don't remove any metal! I am told that that could create an unsafe condition. I opted to not mess with it, it is slowly polishing itself anyway.
