[QUOTE="Guest, post: 59503"] I bought a 6mm barrel from Dan Lilja and it was hand lapped and had a saw cut for the point at which it could be finished at the front end. Dan told me that lapping will Bellmouth either end and the chamber end will take care of that end, the saw cut takes care of the other.The new barrel was subjected to about 20 rounds of break in and when it cleaned up quicker at the end I quit. It was a useful time as I was fireforming any way and the barrel never got overheated. [/QUOTE]
