Burnishing or Slicking Edges? What do we call it?

[TonyV]

 I burnish edges with friction and something like water, wax or tokenole til they're slick.

I feed my 7.62x39mm and 6.5x55mm magazines with clips.  All my other magazines are fed by hand.

Deviation and off topic; do you have a strap or sling (?) for it? If you do is there anything special about it?

Cos I've been asked if I can make slings for M1. Chap says he can't get them here and no-one will make them for him

I have a green sling made out of nylon but want to make a nice leather sling. That may be my next project.

And to keep on topic: I'll burnish the edges

WYO Quick Silk works best for me; don't get one drop or less on unfinished leather.
