Barrel Prep

Hi All,
I just watched an episode of that NZ Maori hunting show. Nice show I enjoy it, but...

They had their tip of the week and spoke of bedding the riffle and then proceeded to prepping a barrel.

One way they showed for getting the tool marks from the barrel was to get some of that auto metal polish cream on a jag and power it up and down the barrel with an electric drill!!! Now, I can see that it would take out some light tool marks, but wouldn't that also take out the sharp edges of the rifling?

Your thoughts please

Hi Danny. The burrs of a throat are circumferential. Using a drill, the cutting compound will simply follow the burrs, polish them without removing them while also damaging the lands as you pointed out.

We went digital here a while back. Everyone with a standard / traditional aerial would no longer have TV reception. We have not had TV at home since this happened (last September I think). Looks like we are not missing much.

Re: Barrel Prep
I was horrified to see that shit being offered as a quick way to bed a barrel!
Good way to sell more rifles/barrels though.

I also enjoy watching Hunting Aotearoa here in OZ but they need to correct this before people think its a good Idea and atempt it.

Re: Barrel Prep
I sent a polite email and said they need to address the wrong info. Surely someone sabotaged them. They can't be that silly.
