243 repaired. Outstanding service! Lapping question?
« on: October 03, 2005, 09:53:46 AM »
Just got my handi back  :grin:  and everything locks up tight as a wine cork. The old 243 barrel had some side to side play and would not shoot a good group. They sent me a new one and it locks solid, also bought new 308 barrel and varmit tripod forend. Couldn't be happier with service. No charge for the new 243 barrel. I have a question about the barrel lapping does the polish have to be Flitz metal polish? I cant find any I have some metal polish but its not flitz is there something special about it? Thanks

Alternatives to Flitz are Simichrome, Maas or any fine metal polish, those are just the commonly available brand names.
