[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2345754, member: 10755"] That won’t work. Flitz will polish, not remove the rough spots, if any are present. Lapping involves using a rod with a plug that allows molten lead to form into it without it pouring into the rest of the barrel, then once the lead slug is formed it has fine lapping paste applied and passed through the barrel until it feels smooth. I do this, it is time consuming and exposes you to lead fumes. The reason you don’t want to polish the bore is due to friction, it will increases if you polish. Lapping leaves a dull smooth finish. And gets 99% of the step between lands and grooves…..Flitz won’t touch in the corners. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
