[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1471099, member: 2736"] I have done this a few times but didn't like the polished finish on barrels (It looks to much like chrome for me). I just like a good machined finish as long as it is very smooth and true. I know/think that most all barrel makers use the sanding method like shortgrass described, but that leaves to much room for error by the operator and the original reason for machining the final finish. I have set barrels up that looked great at first while checking for run out and found flat spots and concentricity issues that the eye could not detect. These imperfections may not cause issues, but true, concentric and straight can only help. I realize that I am anal about some of this stuff, but i am retired and have the time and patience to try and improve where I can. (Never to old to learn). Always looking for a better mouse trap.
