[QUOTE="lazylabs, post: 157228, member: 6641"] I doubt you will get anyone to fess up about using actual lapping compounds in a factory barrel. If you did enough lapping to get them smooth you would have to take an inch out of the throat area, muzzle area and have a horrible piece left in the middle that is probably over sized. I would classify the neco/tubb/JB sort of treatment as more of a polishing than lapping and still damaging at least. The lapping that is done to a a custom barrel is just not possible on a factory, pre-chambered barrel. It may be possible to get a 3" barrel to shape up a little but to actually get a decent barrel to shoot better I doubt your odds are very good. I will probably catch some flack for this but I have never seen anyone actually pull off lapping a factory barrel. just my .0000002 cents [/QUOTE]
