How/Where to Polish PLR-16 Chamber

Raider · 09-18-2009, 01:58 PM

Am curious how I go about polishing the chamber of a newly purchased PLR-16? Novice here.

I am also considering having some trigger work done between redlion parts and Bill Springfield's touch. Any other suggestions?

On my SU16 (basically the same) I put a brass rod down the barrel then attached a bronze bristled shotgun brush to the it. I then chucked the rod up in a cordless drill and started spinnin'. I ran it in and out of the chamber for a few seconds, then cleaned all the freshly removed Parkerizing out. Voila! Shiny and clean.

Have you polished the underside of your bolt carrier yet? That's another place that the parkerizing seems to do more harm than good. Tool marks are usually pretty rough too.
