Bob Hoyt Barrel relining, before and after Lee Shaver barrel treatment method

[bstorric]

I got my .50 cal barrel back from Bob Hoyt. Had him reline the barrel with a 1:28 twist in it. I used my borescope and took a video of the bore after I got it back. I was planning to do the Lee Shaver treatment and did a video before the process and then after to see how much difference it makes or even if you can even tell the difference after it was done. Comparing the two, I can tell that the "scrubbing" of the bore with steel wool did burnish the metal and create a smoother appearance, especially on the lands.
