[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1513931, member: 103303"] Welcome Jkad, that's a good question. Sometimes rougher bores foul more than smooth ones. Premium barrels are often lapped to reduce tooling marks and increase consistency. A couple of suggestions to look into; -try cleaning with an abrasive. One of the more popular ones is JB Compound. It's about 1000grit abrasive suspended in a paste. This can not only help clean the barrel, but helps smooth it as well -Tubbs final finish. Similar idea, but instead of manually pushing a patch you press incrementally finer abrasive into some bullets and fire them through -take it to a gunsmith, have him take a look with a scope and possibly slug your bore and lap it properly. What I find interesting is many custom barrel makers who double lap their barrels claim no break in is necessary. [/QUOTE]
