Smoothing as you described is what I am doing. I read that the sides should be "polished" until they were mirror bright. That would take an incredible amount of time, and grits a lot finer than a fine India stone. Having partially completed the process, I find it hard to believe that this task is included with most trigger jobs...

Good advice, though I didn't have the patience this time around!

Thanks tomcatt & bigshot!
