jgguinness Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Hi all, has anyone had their shotgun barrels polished/honed to remove pitting? All I am after is a rough guide. Kind regards Jonathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshwarrior Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 You pay by the hour of the smiths time normally so both barrels tend to be about £55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunman Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) That sound about right , all depends on the amount that needs to be taken out . Some will come clean in 10 minutes others seem to take forever . Also depends on the steel as again some are harder than others so take longer to bore . Just time really .
