G Guest Guest Feb 28, 2005 #16 I agree. Steel wool just doesn't sound like the best application, when dealing with barrel grooves.

Even a couple passes on a match grade stainless barrel with this proceedure will ruin the mirror finish of the fine barrel. A little more elbow grease and patients will work much better. Just my opinion though! Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50)
