Thread: Lapping barrels

There were some Remington 700's that came out a few years ago with barrel problems, tooling marks in the bore, off-centre chambers, etc. All classic examples of poor workmanship because of the "pay peanuts and get monkeys" fiscal management, and the reason Remington are gone as gunmakers. Nothing stuffs a business faster than a non-productive and over-paid management that attempts to rescue a failing enterprise by underpaying the staff who actually produce the goods!
Lapping with not correct the problem. Shortening the barrel back past the marks will work but at the cost of ballistic performance. Rebarrelling is the best choice.
