there is a seam that goes around the frame once i got that off with a file,I sanded with 100 grit up to 600 grit sand paper,with the 600 grit paper i used oil and polished it  Thanks all for the props

Nicely done tipper1  thats a good project and makes waiting for parts easier

Tal-strip, would have worked.

Looks "scratchy" clean, though.

Find someone who can sandblast the frame. It is a real timesave and provides a very nice base for painting. A local sign maker will does this for me.

I destroyed a few frames. Be careful using a sand or bead blasting. I tried that, and I also tried chrome plating a crosman frame. They're made from soft El'cheapo pot metal.      A while back, when i stepped away from the hobby, the last thing i was trying to get a machinists to work on was a aluminum frame or SS. Unfortunately, It just never happened. I couldn't find anyone in my area to machine one , without paying astronomical fees to measure and chop something up, so i walked from the idea.

I'm no expert but I think 100 grit is way to rough to start with. 100 grit scratches are not easy to get rid of. I start with 220 and end with 1200, then Dremel time. But yours does look good from the pics!

I'm with BigErn...

I start with the files then 320,400,600, 1000, and then go to 3200. With oil you get a sort of satin finish, dry more of a polish IMO.

What kind of oil do you use?

[chongman]

Nothing special on oil type tater. Mineral oil is my choice.
