An easy step. Take your barrel and gun and clamp it onto the adjustable workbench. Then take out your electrical sander and sand the sides of the gun and barrel nice and smooth.

Then clamp your gun in the vise and sand the top and bottom. You'll want to spent some time on the grip of your gun. Especially the curves of your grip should get a lot of attention. You probably couldn't cut them out really good with the jigsaw (power tool) so here's your chance to make them nicely shaped and smooth.

Then clamp your barrel in the vise and sand top and bottom. Be carefull with the top of the gun though.If you use to much force with your sander you may damage the grooves.

Sand or file the front groove to. It's better if this one is nice and smooth to otherwise your rubberbands might break after a few shots due to sharp / rough wood.
