    Gunsmithing Smith rant. What would you do?

    Re: Melonite in Bore: Removal? Find out from your smith who did the Meloniting and contact them directly. How was the gun cleaned before going to meloniting? Do NOT try to lap it out. Meloniting changes the surface hardness of the steel. To lap out the meloniting, you would be making it a...
