[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1020606, member: 2736"] I would have to respectfully Disagree with all of this. There are plenty of members that do know what happens inside a barrel. A bore scope is necessary in order to really know, not hear say. if you look at a barrel (Any Barrel)with a good 90o bore scope you will see all kinds of things that at first are disturbing. as you shoot the barrel and re- inspect it you will see changes in the finish. I have based MY OPINION on looking at barrels with a quality bore scope, new, old, used and clean, copper fouled, lapped un lapped, pitted, rusted and with machine marks of all kinds. I also look at every chamber I cut to check for reamer marks, burs and anything that would be undesirable. A well cut chamber should not have any burs or tool marks so brake In is for barrel quality and longevity. barrels by design, have groves and ridges that can hold copper deposits and become difficult to clean. Brake in minimizes these and aids in cleaning. The difference in opinions are, whether copper is a detriment to accuracy or not and does it need to be there or not. both theories have merit so there will always be differences in opinions. High end barrels are lapped to apply the best finish to prevent fouling NOT to remove pits because they should not be there if the process and barrel material it top quality. A very wise man once told me "Don't believe anything you hear, and only half of what you see" so I have followed this and it has served me well. There are some very Knowledgeable people (I don't claim to be one)on this site that do know and and we are lucky to have there input to learn buy. There will always be differences in opinions because of differences in every barrels quality, finish and workmanship. Just because a person doesn't agree with you doesn't make him wrong, it just makes his opinion different that yours and once we have the tools and experience we will form our own opinion. Agree or disagree, Don't get upset. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
