[QUOTE="ejg, post: 2347191, member: 12381"] Agree, it would take a bit of time to learn the skill of lapping a barrel with say a lead slug. Less risk is using a patch with a fine polish which is more or less polishing away copper/carbon fouling as well as slight removal of uneven spots. One needs to limit the amount of material removal... Important is also to know if the process is needed or not. I have seen the lapping machines at cut barrel makers in Europe as well as the US it is not hobby gear. Was also very lucky to have worked with the guy who made the seals/ valves for your first moon landing air supply in the suits. Allowed was 1 litre of helium leakage in 30 years and this Swiss guy was chosen to make them. We needed the same or similar process for our ceramic seals. edi [/QUOTE]
