    Well I fire lapped it with the NECO kit and loaded up some of the double diameter (sadly discontinued) 160 gr Hornady RN. Shooting off a very improvised rest, I got 5 in 1.5" @100 with 3 in 1/2". Lands are bright but grooves are still dark and pushing a tight patch thru shows a couple of rough spots. IME fire lapping works better with cast bullets, so I guess I buy another mold as I have no 6.5 ones.

    Question Carbine barrel

    I may have found a carbine that has a black bore. What do you want for your barrel?

    Thanks.
