inch wide lengths of clothbacked sand paper 10 or 12 inches long, whip it like shining your shoes. If the barrel is rouge, start with about 100 grit and work down to 400. Takes some work but you can get decent results. If there is rust or pitting you may have to draw file first. Once barrel is smooth and brightly sanded, you need to clean it really good before attempting to blue by ANY method. Metel must be free of any oil residue or fingerprints. The cleaner the metal the better the finished job will look.
