The next part that talked to me was the rebound slide. The bottom had an obvious drag mark starting on one side. Instead of the stone and file, I used sandpaper and a flat piece of acrylic to polish the sides of rebound slide. 600 grit to start, then 1000, then 2000 for a nice polish. It probably wasn't necessary to make it a mirror but it was easy to do.
The hammer seat received exactly 3 swipes on the 2000 grit paper just to remove some oxidation that a toothbrush wouldn't get off.
A round file was used to deburr the inside of the spring channel in the rebound slide. This was done entirely by feel with a very light touch. There were 3 obvious burrs that came out.
