is it safe to lap a 22 cal. Vulcan 3 22 700 barrel? also can you lapp a prophet 3 25cal 700 barrel?
I believe it depends on the exact reference. On these forums, "lapping" is often used to refer to polishing with various polishing agents. You aren't likely to damage a barrel in that process. True lapping is done with a lead lap and various levels of lapping compounds. That is a tedious process that should be done only by experienced folks.is it safe to lap a 22 cal.

I assume you mean the lap was not filling out well, is that correct? The barrel most definitely must be hot and I would think a simple propane torch will heat the barrel adequately, provided you keep at it long enough to heat the steel all the way through. The way I do it is set up a heat gun and let it run on high for upwards of 5 minutes. The barrel becomes far too hot to touch ~6 inches from where the heat is applied.also in a warmed barrel using a torch but it never worked well (for me).
Good point. The distinction between lapping and polishing is very important where the goal is to give high quality advice.I believe it depends on the exact reference.
That's one tight choke.What's a good way to fix this? Pellet on left pushed through barrel, on right stopped at crown.View attachment 458014View attachment 458015View attachment 458013
Not a choke but I think burrs. My experience with chokes seem to be there's a good distance between muzzle and the start of choke. This literally just stops at the crown. Wasnt sure If a lap or fire lap would work or not but I guess a Crown job is in need.That's one tight choke.

I see the burs, but dam if that's not choked. Wow.Not a choke but I think burrs. My experience with chokes seem to be there's a good distance between muzzle and the start of choke.

And it'll take forever, but if you have the patience... Otherwise, it's a pretty quick job in a lathe if you have one, or access, or a friend, etc... But I'd definitely say it's a re-crown job.You're going to have a pretty recessed crown to get past those burrs.
