[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1812450, member: 2736"] My favorite barrel maker says the same thing about the finish. His procedure is propitiatory and I talked to him about the best finish, he said the main thing was to get all of the lapping marks to go parallel with the groves and not to polish it to shiny because it would foul worse. He also stated, Never use anything that rotated to lap or polish the bore or chamber. A nice honed finish like on a chamber was best. His barrels are normally some of the fastest barrels I have used and they foul very little once they are broke in. It is not unusual for his barrel to clean up with two or three patches. Good to hear that Morten Must have the process figured out. I remember the Marlin's looking very good and needing very little cleaning. I clean often so my barrels are never dirty/fouled so I am not a good judge of how bad a barrel fouls unless it fouls badly in less than 10 or so shots. Thanks J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
