Hot take: I swore by machine polishing for barrels, but a hand-lapped one proved me wrong.

A client's precision rifle was shooting inconsistent groups despite a clean bore. I switched to hand lapping the barrel, and the improvement in consistency was immediate. What methods do you prefer for barrel finishing?

How do you know it was hand lapping and not just a bad polish job before?

Are you serious? That's classic hand lapping.

Honestly it looks fine to me. People are making a big deal over nothing.
