[QUOTE="Jinx-), post: 499560, member: 19791"] Yes be very careful with J-B compound, make sure you get blue one and I only would recommend using it once to start polishing process, the rest of the polishing I use KG-2 bore restore, from manufactures website quote: "[I]KG-2 was originally developed to maintain the bore integrity of sniper rifles.
