Thread: Baikal single shot rebarrel - Anyone done this?

Great description of your lapping setup. I've looked into bore lapping before but never actually done it. Considered it for my problematic grey birch barrel to remove the bore constriction, but preheating the barrel before casting the lap would have been an issue with the carbon fibre wrap.

A couple of questions if you don't mind:

What grit are you lapping to?

I thought cut rifled barrels shouldn't open up when the OD is machined?

What I've read suggests that you normally lap before cutting the barrel to length, because the lap tends to bell the muzzle end where it exits and reverses. How are you avoiding this?

Really interesting to see this progressing.
