[QUOTE="rlipson, post: 21952, member: 296"] PrimeTime, With all due respect to Dave W., I think fire lapping a custom barrel would not be my first strategy. And if I did get to that point I'd call Kreiger first and discuss it with them. Most custom bbl's are hand lapped pretty smooth, essentially doing what firelapping does for a factory barrel. Kreiger might offer to look at your barrel and work with you, but if you fire lap it they'll probably say you're on your own. I tried "brush" lapping a factory barrel and it worked except it boogered up the crown. After recrowning it shot better and fouled less--but it was a visibly rough factory barrel. I have also used the NECO firelapping kit with varying success. David Tubb has a "final finish" firelapping kit that I have read other's positive posts about.
