i used mothers and a my bench grinder has a polishing pad from an old buffer fashioned to it.
and yes, im going to add a fiber front sight. ordered today. now to call ruger about fitting a 22 mag cylinder for me, if they even do that. ive read vastly different reports on that.
Year for mine appears to be 1975. I need to keep my mag cylinder in case I want to give the gun to a friend/relative. It ain't stainless anyway. I'm guessing that most 'orphan' cylinders are from defunct guns. Even Rugers must wear out.
im still not totally pleased, i may try some 2000 wet paper and then some hand polishing. i paint cars and want my revolvers to have that glassy look like my clearcoat finishes.
