[QUOTE="Gamesniper19, post: 2346625, member: 95013"] I ask cause he has not identified why it needs to be lapped. Accuracy issue? Some other issue? [LIST] [*]Does he have a gauge to ensure that it is lapped to the correct diameter and specs [*]Does he have experience lapping - it does not seem so and I know of no manufacturer or maker of barrels that would recommend someone do it at home [*]Is he prepared to "F" it up and get a new barrel [*]Does he even know what the proper specs are [/LIST] This is not a question about whether a manufacturer laps. I am not debating that manufacturers do it, they do. It is a discussion on why does he wanna do it on a factory barrel himself and does he have the skill, materials, and tools to do it correctly. I agree that with a high quality custom barrel, usually after barrel break in, they are smooth as a babies behind so I agree, they should clean up. But this is a factory barrel [/QUOTE]
