[QUOTE="SSgt G Cody, post: 2496892, member: 113303"] I had a great friend who was a local gunsmith and legend here for many years, but died a few years back. He built competition rifles for several national competitors, including Dr. Kennerly who was national champ twice. His method of polishing inner chamber and barrel was to clean & oil lightly after each of 5 first shots, then add light "dusting" with BonAmi (cleaner) to chamber before next 5 shots, clean again, then repeat with BonAmi and 5-shot groups, then clean until 25 shots are reached, then thoroughly clean. After this he used 2000 grit auto polish powder (as used with mechanical polisher) for the next 25 shots, in 5-shot groups as with the BonAmi, then thoroughly cleaned again. After this all he did was apply a moly coating to the inner barrel grooves, then shot many times, and developed his loads for competition. [/QUOTE]
