I have attached photos of the springs I'm trying to polish, and was wondering if there was an easier way of polishing them then the methods I have been using. Also How do you polish inside the spring? It's not important to get inside, but if there was a way I'd like to do it. Any help would be appreciated.
Those would be great candidates for a vibratory tumbler. Check with machine shops or gunsmiths.
