Getting these to funtion

I tried taking apart the gun and using the chamber for a gauge to make sure the reloaded ammo was not hanging up due to improper resizing. this was not evident. I think the comment about lapping being needed is the answer. The gun was reblued a long time ago ( a nice job) but I think there is bluing on the bearing surfaces of the breechblock on the sides where it slides back and forth on the inner rails of the receiver fork. I think also there is blue on the inner bearing surfaces of the receiver fork as well ( I hope my terms are correct, or at least descriptive) Judging from the 3 other originals I have, I see these surfaces were left in the white. My question is what compound would I use ( and how) to get the bluing out of those bearing surfaces? thanks MC
