Polished “Claws” - Assassin

Post by Craiga »

After having issues with my Assassin quickly eating servings, I decided to polish the claws. This is how they appear now.

While much better in overall appearance, I can’t seem to get rid of a visible line on each side. It appears to be a casting mark maybe.

Is this normal? Should I keep at it until I polish away these lines?

Edit: Can’t seem to attach the pictures.

Thank you, Boo.

Should I keep polishing, in your opinion?

Without taking the latches out of the trigger unit so that the contact surface is perfect or not, it is all trial and error. The naked eye isn't good enough but you can use a jeweler's loupe or an electronic microscope. So all you can do is shoot the bow and pay attention to the serving wear.
