[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1786675, member: 74902"] I use JBs for cleaning from time to time; usually when I want to get all the copper out, etc. to go do a different bullet or put the rifle away for the year. I don't think JBs would actually lap a barrel. It certainly wouldn't remove any tool marks. It's just not that aggressive. If you use the JB's to get down to metal and clean out all of the fouling, I believe the JBs red would probably polish things a bit. I would certainly try this method though before trying something like fire lapping. Fire lapping can actually erode the lands a bit. I ruined a barrel one time with fire lapping... [/QUOTE]
