polish a nylon 66 stock

khornet

I picked up a Nylon 66 at an auction today. The stock looks like someone sanded it lightly. Is there a way to polish it back to factory finish?

I would try one of the many car headlight repair kits I have also
used brasso to polish plastic with good results

Sure. Depending on how rough the finish is start with maybe very fine wet dry sand paper or maybe automotive rubbing compound and keeping going to a finer grade till you get the finish you desire. Good luck.

There was an aviation product call 'mirror glaze'? used to polish windshields.

From the Remington Service Manual:

Stock

Listed below is the recommended method of restoring the finish on the Nylon stock.

Scratches: Use finely powdered pumice stone and oil. Rub with felt pad. Wipe clean and dry.

Abrasion: Use Du Pont auto rubbing compound. Rub with cloth pad. Wipe clean and dry.

For Polishing: Use Du Pont auto waxes.

To Clean Checkering: Use stiff tooth brush.

This is what I've used on Tenite stocks as well, and good results every time.

After rubbing compound, then go to DuPont polishing compound.
