[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2272826, member: 1521"] I never said myself that fire forming should be used -because D.Tubb says it works to some benefit. But how many barrel makers have USED as many barrels as David Tubb? How many have personally won as much? Tubb first merchandised FinalFinish to improve rough/bad bores. Factory bores. I can understand why barrel makers would avoid connection of their product to that. Right? I would be cautious of using D.Tubb's advice on barrel [U]making[/U] (if he provided that), but not on barrel [U]usage[/U]. I've been using his FinalFinish/TMS for every barrel, and so far the results have passed tests for his claims. I have also done my own destructive testing with Flitz, and seen it with a friend's use of Bore Bright. In both cases the results were an immediate and unrecoverable detriment. A big increase in copper fouling. It's the unrecoverable part I don't understand,, and that leads me to emphasizing NEVER POLISH a bore. But if you do that, maybe your barrel maker will say 'yeah, that's just what I wanted you to do'? And here's a new blank for $450 No. No matter what you do, you're on your own. [/QUOTE]
