I have read several times on this board about people polishing their own barrels. I have asked how they accomplished this with no reply...is anyone willing to share how they did this?

Thanks

Ive polished all my shotgun bore's with JB!(Non Embeding Bore cleaner and Polish)Any good gun shop carries it,and it will not harm your barrel.It's like 6 bucks for a small tub of it.It's sort of like giving your bore a enima.Works Great!<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

What is the reason you polish the bore.
I clean all my guns very good and they last quite well.

I give my barrels a good cleaning and finish them off with a light coating of Ballistol. This stuff really works...barrels finish slicker than snot and it won't gum up like gun oils. It also has many other uses. Check it out at www.ballistol.com

Ballistol is what I use also, a friens who runs a pawn shop stocks it and this stuff is great. He told me to even put it in the oil of my truck and I had a 87 Isuzu that I drove until it had 206,000 miles on it and got rid of it only because I got a great deal on a new truck. The motor was still running great and not burning any oil. You can squirt that stuff any where, well almost anywhere.

To polish your barrel you need a drill and a cleaning rod and a brass brush and some 0000 steel wool wrap the steel wool around the brass brush and polish the heck out of it i used extremely fine sand paper on my mossberg barrel they are extremely rough and they wont shoot to their max without the barrel poloshed. on my remington I just polished the rear forcing cone its as shiney as the rest of the barrel now hope this helps toto can probobly tell you better than me
