Don't use a dremel. It will make your gun very shinney but leave streak marks. Use a bight felt wheel for an even finish.

Hey Rugster,use your dremel to polish the small rectangle underside of the AK47 bolt(where it skims across the top of the other shells in the mag).Also polish the hammer face of your AK47,doing these two areas will make it cycle ALOT smoother!!!
YES!!! Dremel is for SMALL place polishing,not large scale,like a whole gun!! I did a brand new mini-14 stainless which was very dull,with a hard,sponge looking 4" wheel that a freind lent me. He said he got it at a body supply shop for polishing stainless wheels and trim. It really worked nice,then finished with the felt wheel.
