    Ah! yes they do and for thier intended purpose they work well. I have never used them but I understand they are used to breake in a new barrel. Some use them because they believe in that theory when it comes to barrel breake in proceedure. Others believe strongly in other methods.

    it is as Peter says. it does put wear on the barrel and does not actually address a worn or corroded barel.

    just the controversy about breaking in a new barrel generates so much passion that I too will stay out of that dog fight.

    dont know how it will impact effectiveness on frosted barrels.....frosted barrels.... thats too funny. how we come up with so many generalised terms to describe as painlessly as possible a worn out barrel.

    Always run a patch through a barrel befor inspecting it if you intend to buy it. dealer should have no problems with that[COLOR="black"]

    I think Roger Wedham in his excellent book " The 2012 Complete Book on Lee Enfield Accururizing"put it best when he stated that even a very worn out barrel may continue to shoot accurately Its justa question of for how long.
