And there's the rub! The guy that'll do it for the least amount of money will probably mess it up! Participating in the shooting sports isn't a cheap hobby. Sometimes you'll get a bargain, but top notch preformance usually cost..... And, to top it all off, lapping takes place after contouring. So plan on losing an inch of barrel length.
Maybe I am missing something here (quite possible), but why would a barrel that has already been chambered and used have to be re-lapped if he chooses to have it re-contoured? I understand that a fresh barrel will have to lose an inch or so due to lapping, I am just not seeing why he would lose an inch off of this particular barrel if it is re-contoured. Why would it need to be lapped again at this point?
