He was drawfiling the wrong direction.

never use a file card on your files this will dull them in no time, the bristles on them are to hard. a brass grill cleaning brush is much better. chalk is not necessary

Does anyone know how to remove the tubular magazine, in a way that won't damage the tube?

Thank you for sharing, now I know what "draw filing" means.

If I draw file over the lettering is it pretty easy to remove it? I have a newer hawken rifle with an octagon barrel and I want to remove all the lettering from the barrel. Any tips on the best way to do this? Thanks!

You'd have to remove a few hundredths, or enough to take the lettering out.

I like the way you explain the procedures, thanks for sharing. When bluing, why must the rifling be protected, when you can shoot the junk out later?

Interesting video thanks. I have an octagonal barrel on my Model 62 (short only) (yes stamped Mod 62 on an octagonal). It badly needs refinishing and this has helped a lot. Cheers from over the pond.

Be careful to tighten a soft barrel like that w o using well fitting jaws in the barrel vice! It can be distorted.
