POLISHING THE PRIMING PAN

When I was a boy, they said polishing your pan would make you go blind.

I can barely read what you wrote!

Dont know about jeweling it, but a good buffing is in order here.
Thanks

You're right here.
Jeweling will hold a thin amount of oil to the metal so I would assume jeweling the pan would also hold powder and fouling.

This thread is making me want to polish my pan.

As far as I'm concerned it was well worth the effort.

So I am quite new to the flintlock fad. And I now have finally got my flintlock rifle ( Traditions Kentucky flintlock rifle with a L&R replacement lock) to fire pretty much every time I pull the trigger. I'm now wanting to polish the priming pan as it is pretty ruff and seems to get "gunked up" I do have a Dremel type tool but not sure which tip would work the best. Would appreciate any help given. Thank you in advance.

Yes, this fad has been 'hot' since the 18th Century! good luck!
