[QUOTE="ejg, post: 2347414, member: 12381"] Wow I better hold back with the chat on here, The 12 Years of Engineering education on two continents including German mechanic trade helped with my know how in the lapping process, as well as 30 year toolmaking, moulding, and component manufacturing of which some needed a lapping process. Those that know lapping only from the barrel manufacturing process would have seen a fraction of what lapping is all about. That is why I refer to other processes in the industry that I came across. Just like bedding which I initially learnt in heavy machinery not with rifles. Exactly this broadening of the horizon was what lead NASA in those days to search worldwide to find experts in specialized industries. Hence finding the Swiss guy I mentioned. BTW isn't improving the seal between barrel and bullet a reason for lapping? Even lapping a slight choke into the barrel? edi [/QUOTE]
