Lapping barrel

Google would be your friend.
Some try "fire lapping" order the correct lapping compound find a pellet that will hold the compound well ( the old Korean ammo was good for this) pack some compound onto the pellet and fire it, likely repeat, then clean very well.
Midway & other sell lapping kit's ( mostly for firearms) and compound - some will use mothers chrome polish, some MUCH more aggressive.
You can also use a bore "mop" , add lapping compound to "mop" push through bore - from breach to crown.
Care needs to be taken as you can make things worse fairly easily esp. if using aggressive grade grit.
The best airguns come with hand lapped barrels. Pretty much all barrel "can" benefit from hand lapping, but go slow and easy.

This might help. Making a lead lap is the traditional way of lapping a bore, but it is an art and you can ruin a barrel if your not careful.
