I would think that in a hand lapped barrel (like say the Criterions) that would not be the case - correct?

All the same I think I'd run a wet patch down the bore just to check...
Lapping leaves a bunch of crud in the barrel. You can get a bunch of crud and shavings into the barrel from chambering.
