Once the lap is made it should never come out of the barrel untill your done lapping. Push it out just far enough to add compound. Also if you heat the barrel with a heat gun the lap will form better.
Heard you say you also do this on air rifles. I am curious because I want to try this in a small .20 caliber rifle. But the lead when pouring solidifies before it will run in the barrel. And it’s frustrating me on how to get it to go into the barrel.
2 questions: 1) Do you have to coat the barrel to prevent the lead from sticking to the inside of the barrel, if so what to use? 2) Is that a deer at the 12 minute mark in the background? Thanks.
Thank you very much man you save me a few hundred bucks now because I have a nicked one of the barrel inside for inches and I learned quite a bit from you thanks again I love it
deer in the background
So... Lead is softer than steel , right? Has it occurred to you that you're lapping the lead plug and using the barrel to do so?

I could see a difference. If nothing else the barrel is shining on the inside and that’s got to be slicker. Thanks 6 Shooter.
Good day SST. Thanks for showing us this. C19 be gone soon hopefully. Mike.
I've never heard of lapping a barrel, I know about lapping scope rings, but not a barrel
