Then in the other hand you have shilen match barrels where they hand lap the last bit out so the surface is smooth as can be and you do have to really worry about lappi g out or breaking in the barrel... it all just depends on how the manufacturer bored the barrel what type of boar they used what type of finishing they did if any some of them do some hand finishing some of them just bore it and let the customer break it in and lap it out
