I’m looking for a good resource on hand polishing a rifle instruction. Midway USA has a brief video on it, but I’m looking for some more detail. If anyone has a suggestion I’d appreciate it.

A 3M Trizact disk in 5000 grit works great for a high luster finish. Commonly used to finish high quality automotive paint jobs . On an oil finish on a gunstock, let the finish cure for a week or so before using.

It’s not a difficult process just take patients and sweat . If the are pits one can draw file them out with a smooth bastard file. One can use wet and dry paper or al oxide , crocus cloth ,emery cloth. I like the 1 in rolls . Depends how good or poor what you are starting with will determine the grit to start with .
How much shine do you want you blueing to have ? If just wanting a nice blue finishing with 320 grit is plenty fine . If just removing old blueing starting with 120 is plenty course and work up. For a deeper lustre finishing with 600 is great one can go finer . Let the grit do the work and remove all the previous scratches with the next finer grit before moving on . I like to use cutting oil on the sanding paper , wd 40 will work. On the last polish use no oil on the sanding paper.
