Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Which fire lapping kit?? Neco or Tubbs final finish

Do you have any idea how little the scorn of fools bothers me?

It moved. Promise.

Security in your own stupidity is a sad condition indeed but you are far advanced in it and ignorance is surely bliss. Being as ate up with the dumbass as you are you'll never claw your way out of the chasm of sheer and utter mental hopelessness however and we have to suffer along with you.

Nice modern rifles.....DONT DO IT! It will erode out your throat a [bleep] your bore. Seen it helped do it.

I tell it like it is. If you don't like the truth put me on ignore....please!

And miss the train wreck that you espouse! Your reality is way mo' funnier than fiction.

I don't know how much experience with Tubbs kit or Neco's kit that Swampman has but I'm thinking he likes to hear himself type (probably one finger at a time).

Prolly got his miniature Dugan in the other reveling in ignorgasmic ecstasy.

Seen plenty of tubes ruined by sophomoric nimrods like yourselves. Keep sanding the inside of those barrels girls.

Swampman, I'd like to quote you but I have u on ignore so keep the "blanks" coming.

I cleaned up a handful of old Ruger barrels with the NECO kit many years ago. They either shot better or the same and all cleaned much easier.

I have used both the NECO kit and Tubbs Final Finish. In my experience they're more useful for polishing the throat area of a new chamber than anything else. Sometimes they'll help a bore, and sometimes they won't. If you fire a lot of either the throat WILL end up further forward, and be a little larger in diameter as well.

We had one member at our club, who convinced himself that the Tubb system was the answer to his prayers and "kept at it", until he thoroughly ruined the bore in his M700 223.

True tale. He now hates Remington, because they refused to make his rifle "right".

I'm firmly convinced you could damage a rife by shooting too many rounds of these systems, but I'm planning on being very conservative and shooting only enough to smooth out the rough spots as evident from the lead slugging bullets that are pushed down a greased bore. My rifles shoot good already but I feel that conservative use of the Neco system can't hurt and will make cleaning up easier. I'll keep everyone posted on my experience. Just ordered the Neco kit today. I will also be keeping a close eye on the throat and any lengthening that takes place.

I would not use either on a barrel that is performing well, but I HAVE turned several poor performing barrels into good ones with the NECO kit. I have not tried the Tubbs system but plan to when I am out of NECO bore lapping compound. The concept and idea is sound, proven many times over by myself, Mr. tubbs and MANY other experienced shooters. Like many products careful and proper use can be a good thing, overuse not so much. Nothing wrong with moving a throat forward in some cases, either. Adjust the load and fire away.

safari man, thanks for the feedback and advice. It's always good to hear from someone who has a voice of experience.
