I cannot claim the initial idea for the following, all I can do is put it down, I can't find the thread here that lead me to do this. So it may have been on some other site.

Anyway here goes.

First look down your barrel toward a light (with it disconnected from your gun). You will see that any image is fuzzy at best, this is caused by the lack of polishing. We're going to fix that shortly.

Cut one metal hanger 11 or 12 inches long, on one end using a pair of pliers bend over a 1/2 in section almost flat over on itself ( leaving just enough room to slide a shop rag folded in half into it).

Cut a few large patches of shop rag into 4 to 6 inch squares.
I used up 3 you may want to use more. I folded mine on the diagonal, I dunno why, it's just how I roll... Note: you may want to use terry cloth towel in this case bend a slightly longer portion of your hanger over.

I used Imperial Wetordry sandpaper bought from Advance Auto Parts. It's what I had laying around in 1000 and 2000 grit. I tore off 2 inch wide strips roughly 4 inches long of the 1000 grit variety and folded them in half so that they are 4 inches by one inch (with the abrasive material facing out please). The abrasive on the inside helps hold the sandpaper to the rag.

Lay the cloth inside the bent over area of the hanger and begin to twist it tightly. You may find you need to trim your cloths slightly, it's ok... not an exact science. Wrap the sandpaper around the rag roughly in the middle of the rag so that it has rag running on both sides of the paper *Rag*Paper*Rag* is what you're looking for.

I used Mothers Mag and Aluminum Polish liberally inside the end of the barrel that I inserted the polishing assembly. I also applied some to the rag and the sandpaper. Insert it manually into the end of the barrel, as it should be a snug but not too tight fit.

From here it's rechargable drill time. Lay the barrel and polisher assembly with the hanger pointed off a table and tighten the drill chuck to the end of the hanger.
MAKE SURE YOU KEEP THE HANGER INSIDE THE RAG, YOU DON'T WANT TO MARR THE BORE OF YOUR BARREL.

Once the rag was dirty I would pull out the rig and wrap it in the other direction, voila ... a whole new clean area of rag. Apply more Mothers Polish, either re-use your paper or flip it over, the used abrasive will still be enough to hold the paper still on the rag.

Reverse the direction of the drill now... cause you have changed your wrap direction. Go at it again. Inspect your job by looking toward a light and enjoy your increasingly clear image on the inside area of the barrel. After each round of polishing apply a fresh rag to the polisher and clean all that mothers out of the bore. If you read the directions on the Mothers Polish, it should be removed prior to it drying, I haven't tested this, and it's their product, they oughta know. So be vigilant and keep the polish moist the whole time.

Note: What you are looking for isn't neccesarily fresh aluminum in the barrel bore, that's why we're only using 1000 grit paper here. The main idea is to polish what's existing in there more than to drasticly change the barrel bore size.

When you're done make extra sure that you get ALL the polish out of the bore AND the vents in the barrel.

It's been a pleasure.
