    Polishing gouges out of a bolt cocking shroud

    Iv got a brno with a bit of damage on the bolt cocking shroud from where someone has grabbed it with something like vicegrips to re-cock possibly when it was out of the rifle, It is the only let down on the metalwork of the rifle, and looks bloody unsightly.
    will wet and dry sand paper in the 200 range be a good place to start to polish these away?

    is the there a better way?

    Be good to have this rifle looking tops once again

    thats a brilliant idea with tapping flat the ridges,

    while Im at it mauser, is it easy enough to bend the bolt back a bit for asthetics?

    Id start with 200 after tapping down high spots, if it looks too slow (deep guoges) go 100grit and work back up.
    Wrap strips of wet and dry around a file or Dowl to get it to "cut" flat like using a stone.

    Bend blot handle I take it not the actual bolt?
    handell would take 3-4 seconds tro heat o red in one spot and bend with a decent torch, dont bother with one of those besine? heater/torches would take ages and the whole thing would have to heat up.

    I think it would have been done after my friend had died and his firearms were in the care of one of his friends, he would have decocked the bolt when storing so not to loose spring tension and the friend would have helpfully recocked it so that the bolt could be used in the rifle - with vicegrips.

    Its no biggie, it just looks like shit.

    Im leaning towards dolling it up as best as possible without removing the blueing with the hammer then reblueing it on the parts that shine.
    my last cold blueing job looked great but rusted like a demon so loosing the factory blue I think would be a mistake
