Ever walk into one of those "modern gun shops" where 95% of the gear & guns is black, plastic or tactical -- or all 3!? ! -- and they also sell body armor, helmets and powder to stop major blood loss? Well, most of the stuff for sale in those stores makes me gag -- and also very concer...

Hi Jay, I've read that they use some type of acid wash to get that effect.

Just drop one of yours in vinegar (a mild acid), swish it around, and show us how it comes out.

I agree with all the above. I'd also be checking throat diameter versus the diameter of each chamber. If if comes down to it -- shoot some 5-shot groups "from each chamber", to see if you can isolate an issue. That's what led me to tune-up the cyliner throats of an old GP100 that I had yea...

One thing is for sure -- don't ever use a solvent which has ammonia in it, as I've read that it will lift the plating.

That'll do just fine. Do you plan to leave the wood pores open or are you going to fill the pores?
