Fair enough but at the same time, this isn't rocket science nor an expensive gun. A few small tips like yours leads me to dig a little further and I've found several good videos that has showed me what to do. I have spent a little time on it and the results are really impressive, the barrel is looking great. With a microscope it would be apparent that the surface isn't perfect but it is a hunting rifle that on the surface, looks really nice now. Thank u for the help.
Also, re Skb case, one quick call and keys are in the mail, sent free of charge. That was a nice surprise
