[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 801538, member: 15748"] No, I think we'd probably moved on to J-B by that point, and it was a regular treatment every couple hundred rounds or so. Same idea, though; pumice based abrasive that breaks down after just a few strokes. I think this stuff is perfectly fine, so long as it's used with some discretion. Some barrel makers warn against even this, and that's certianly their perogotive. Jim also used to use stainless steel bore brushes, too, but only as an absolute final resort on barrels that were all but gone. Occaisionally revived them enough to get another couple hundred rounds out of them, and if it didn't, he wasn't out anything. I'd still have to put the fire lapping kits in the same category, and yes, I know of a couple of barrel makers who specifically state that using these products will void the warranty on their barrels, You lap it, and whatever the results, it's now your problem, not theirs. I'll pass. [/QUOTE]
