I'd like to see this.

I wonder how all the tolerances changed.

None....it just etched the surface..30psi air pressure with 120grit...can't even feel it hit your skin. I do plan on comparing my before measurements with after though.

It goes on about .0001-.0005" thick and yeah it's made to wear together....used in tons of applications between two wear surfaces. Firearms, engines, industrial etc etc. whatever you can imagine.

Just trying to make good parts better...I'm leaving nothing untouched or unmeasured....even modifying the pickup tube/screen...every little thing. All of these items are mass produced so checking them and blueprinting them is in my opinion the way to do it. The rotating assembly and block gets blueprinted so why not every other part.
