jericho76 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Is fire lapping a handgun barrel worth it? A company called NECO makes kits to do this and was curios if anybody has used them or is it something better for long guns. I am a novice, so I don't have a deep understanding about these kind of things yet, so forgive me if this should be an obvious issue to me.

AlamoShooter Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 The final finish stuff that David Tubbs sells is partly used to salvage a barrel with a rough throat. I don't think it would hurt you that much , But I don't think it would help ether. But the barrel will clean up much faster when you push a patch through it. If it was free I would not do it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soft cast bullets and grinding compound. Not rocket science but you have to be careful. If your barrel isn't pitted I would not do it. What problems are you trying to fix with fire lapping?
