Re: Fire lapping

Fire lapping is a last resort before a re-barrel. Barrel lapping is something done by good barrel makers and is best left to professionals that make the barrels.

I used Final Finish on a Remington 788 6mm barrel, a 700 270 sporter barrel and the barrel on my LTR in 308. The barrels are easier to clean now...accuracy is the same.
