This week’s reading assignment reviews the processes used to restore rifle and shotgun barrels. For this discussion post, you will build on your assumed role as a gunsmith at a firearm manufacturing organization.
The customer from Week 5 has yet again returned to your shop. He informs you that his customized Remington M700’s shot groups have considerably increased over his last few range sessions. While inspecting the bore, you notice severe pitting from the chamber through to approximately 10” down the barrel. The customer informs you that he has recently started shooting corrosive surplus ammunition. After presenting the customer with his options (rebarelling vs. lapping) the customer has requested you lap his barrel.
Create a discussion post addressing the following elements:
– The materials & tools required
– Construction of the lapping rod
– The process used to lap the barrel
