Can you polish a barrel to make it more accurate ?

[QUOTE="redneckclimbing, post: 1802836, member: 41124"] No, I don't have a bore scope. However, all the barrels I have tried it in were brand new barrels. So I don't know what you mean by "deep cleaning aspect"? The way I always did things was, I would break in all my barrels. Sometimes only ten shots with AR barrels, but usually 20 or more in bolt guns. One shot and clean it out completely. Then I would see how they shoot. If they shoot well, I don't touch them. If they didn't that is when I went to the TFF kit. One of the barrels was actually a Benchmark and it didn't shoot for beans after being melonited. So, I threw a TFF kit through it and now it's the .5" gun I spoke about before. Another was a T-Box AR barrel with matched bolt head, .223 Wylde chamber, melonited straight away. Again, not worth a crap right out of the gate. TFF, kit and it is a very consistent .75" or less gun now. Another subject, but I'm not sure I'm sold on the melonite. Not sure yet, been using a carbon only cleaner lately and it seems to really be making a difference in accuracy. More time will tell. Anyways, that's been my experience. [/QUOTE]
