[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 2691004, member: 78056"] There are a couple other things you could try since at this point you don't have anything to lose! I think my first try would be the finer grits of a NECO firelap kit. There are 4 grits but I would be leery of using the coarse grit at all. Maybe the second grit but more likely in a good shooting barrel I would try the last two first to see if it works. I have never had an accuracy change from using the NECO process but then I've never used it on any of my custom barrels, either! Just factory. It cuts way down on fouling, which seems to be the problem with this barrel. Another possibility would be a stainless polish such as those used on aircraft. My #1 recommendation would be Metall (available from Aircraft Spruce & Speciality) or a product called Noxon 7 (you'll have to search for that one, I've had the same bottle for years!). Both of these are aluminum & stainless steel polishes and are even finer than JB (I think... none of them list the actual grit size but all are super fine). For that fact, you might even try the JB Bore polish, which is supposed to be a finish product for the JB Bore cleaner. Just some possibilities and again, I've never used any of them on a custom, hand lapped barrel so you're in uncharted territory as far as my experience goes! Good luck! Cheers, crkckr PS. I do love those Hart barrels! [/QUOTE]
