gustav Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 Does anyone have experience of using this sort of product. I would be interested to know how effective they are in removing light bore marks. Thank you to anyone who can share personal experience with me.

Gunman Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 I used these to polish chokes after boring as well as polishing chambers . I would not have liked to or attempted to use them for much else ,dependent on the stone grit they will be quite effective but need a lot of lubricant and frequent cleaning and time ,as the cutting rate is very slow . If you want to polish bores then I suggest a rod with split end and abrasive cloth wrapped round the end padded with foam , diven with a slow speed drill [200/300rpm ] I used this method ,although driven on a honing machine , for polishing out after blacking , removing leading as well as taking of minor surface marks ,going down the grades from 220 to 600 . For old and rusted barrels may be a 100/ 120 to clean the **** out prior to any attempt to bore . As a by the by , in my younger days in the Birmingham gun trade some of the old timers used this method of polishing but used tow , grit and grease driven with a hand brace! .

TIGHTCHOKE Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 (edited) Not really made for the length of the bore, but I guess if you're really worried about a few marks! https://www.tecnimetal-tm.eu/pdf_cats/flex-hone/FlexHone_Firearm.pdf Edited December 6, 2022 by TIGHTCHOKE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
