I searched on jewelling here and came up with a little information regarding the process. My questions are to what you guys feel produces the best metal surface for lubricant retention and smoother operation of small metal parts in a firearm.

1. What do you feel is the best "grit size" for use in jewelling small parts that need improvement where they contact other metal parts? This specifically would be for trigger components and their contact points.

2. Have you jewelled sears and their hammer engagement areas? Would this improve or smooth out a trigger job?

Thanks for sharing any accumulated knowledge you may have.
