Recommended to me on the range as a means to not only speed up ignition but also make cleanup between rounds significantly easier, especially in the humid Florida weather, Ive decided to remove the Siler lock and polish the pan to a mirror shine. This reduces the surface area to provide for the benefits mentioned above. Given the volume of work, this was all done by hand only using a Dremel for final polishing with Maas.

In searching for the ideal grit to start with I worked down from 1500 to determine that 800 was the best way to begin.The results of which will be demonstrated the next time im in the field.
