    refinishing a pitted shotgun barrel

    Just saw a Youtube video with my old mate Larry Potterfield, saw him refinishing a pitted shotgun barrel with a series of hones. Does anyone offer this service in NZ?

    how bad?
    i buffed one that was a little rough internaly with a 12g cleaning rod and rolled up some cloth arround the patch till it was tight in the barrel. i then used some lapping compound and stuck the rod into a battery drill.
    working it back and forth for a while then clean and inspect, worked a treat.

    a few small pock marks maybe just 20mm past the chamber in the top barrel. I am sure it wouldn't be hard to fix as the rest of the bore looks good to the naked eye. It's an old miroku from the '60s I'm giving a birthday
