Title: smoothing minor bore pitting
Post by: Sneakon on January 25, 2011, 02:03:44 PM

Would a rifled barrel with minor bore pitting benefit from treatment with something like JB bore cleaner or another mild abrasive paste?  What other suggestions might you boys have for cleaning up a few minor pits in a bore?

some 0000 steel wool with a little WD 40 should work
