i have recently decided that mr. spegels extended boot grips are the answer to my problems. i a two 29 mtn gun that i love to shoot. it has smooth buffalo horn panels and while it looks superb, it isn't the answer for control. the grips are slightly short and my pinky likes to fall below the...

anyone know the best way to clean up a frame after bead blasting? i've just finished my first blasting job. it turned out pretty good, but i want to make sure that i get all the grit out before i try to reassemble. was wondering if there was something that i should soak in or somethin.

i have recently used some high grit sand paper and scotch brite pads to clean up a revolver. will bead blasting give me a smoother finish than the paper.
