[QUOTE="CatShooter, post: 135269, member: 7"] [ QUOTE ] Hey all Anyone ever break in a new barrel by fire lapping? Was thinking of using the final finish product. I've read good things anyone had much experience with it? Thanks Drew [/ QUOTE ] Don't do it. These things are bullets coated in abrasives... Everyone whines about the damage that cleaning rods do, and then have no problem shoving a bunch of Silicone Carbide down the barrel??? Contact the maker of the barrel and ask them what they think of it. The problem with it is that it erodes the throat (which is what we try to AVOID), and futher scores the rifling. TO what end?? There is not even agreement on "breaking in a barrel" and what (if any) advantages there are. I am always amazed at how many people will advise someone ELSE to do something harmful to a gun. Don't do it. Just shoot your rifle and enjoy it. [/QUOTE]
