Thank you very much man you save me a few hundred bucks now because I have a nicked one of the barrel inside for inches and I learned quite a bit from you thanks again I love it
2 questions: 1) Do you have to coat the barrel to prevent the lead from sticking to the inside of the barrel, if so what to use? 2) Is that a deer at the 12 minute mark in the background? Thanks.
Heard you say you also do this on air rifles. I am curious because I want to try this in a small .20 caliber rifle. But the lead when pouring solidifies before it will run in the barrel. And it’s frustrating me on how to get it to go into the barrel.
It's called sacrificial. You don't want the lap to be harder than the barrel. If the lead lap wears out before you accomplish your desired results, just make another. Plus, try to pour molded steel into your barrel to make a lap.
what is this procedure for? to clean the barrel from lead deposits? Very strange. Dilute hydrogen peroxide and vinegar 50/50 pour into the barrel. then clean with a brush. repeat the procedure several times. lead oxide can be black yellow and red. Depends on composition
Polishing the imperfections out. This can help in the prevention of leading. Makes general cleaning a lot easier. It also will help improve accuracy. High-end high dollar barrels are polished at the factory.
Once the lap is made it should never come out of the barrel untill your done lapping. Push it out just far enough to add compound. Also if you heat the barrel with a heat gun the lap will form better.
I would clean out to compound with break cleaner before running a patch, The patch with compound on it can round off the lands.
I learned something and enjoyed it too! Hope you're feeling better Six.

I could see a difference. If nothing else the barrel is shining on the inside and that’s got to be slicker. Thanks 6 Shooter.
Thinks for the info now I know how to do it 👍🏻 . It will make them shoot better for sure !!! Will try it on my barrels .

No you do not coat the barrel. Yes that was a yard deer.
Thanks for showing .

Warm the barrel up some but not hot. Get the lead temperature up some more. If you're only around 650 degrees, it will solidify too quickly.
So... Lead is softer than steel , right? Has it occurred to you that you're lapping the lead plug and using the barrel to do so?

I've never heard of lapping a barrel, I know about lapping scope rings, but not a barrel

Thanhs for sharing
You must be afraid to get your finger a little dirty huh ?
No sir just trying to keep it from getting it all over the barrel and cleaning rod. It will dull a blue finish fast. Thanks for watching.
