Well, it depends....
If you want a matte finish, glass beading will give you great results.(think 870 express style finish)
If you want a gloss finish, it takes ALOT of time.
Follow what ESLB said, then take a sheet of 800 grit wet/dry and soak it in kerosene. polish til shine. Next, Norton Abrasives makes a Convolute wheel which is like a wad of scotch-brite. Polish to a shine with no "shadows". Last step is a flannel muslin with jewlers rouge'. Be careful not to over press the barrel to the wheel as this will cake the rouge' on to the barrel. Last step is to use a clean muslin (sewn cotton type) with a little dab of FLITZ metal polish.
Degrease with rubbing alcohol and give 'er hell.
The secret to a good blue job is all in the prep. Rushing this is a sure-fire way to make a crappy job.
