[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2508017, member: 15054"] I did another barrel touch up..I stuck the barrel end against my disc sander which has a table and fence I rolled the barrel as i pushed it against the disc lightly and pushed it from the center of the disc to 1/4" from the edge. The sandpaper is worn out 180grit..so a light cut. Only a tiny bit of metal was removed and i looked at it and my file job was right on..As the disc cut evenly across the entire barrel face. I then used a marble and put a slight chamfer on the muzzle hole. I will shoot it again and see what it does before i use the Brownell tool on it. I measured the center hole to the outside edge of the barrel and the hole is off center by .010" from factory at the muzzle end. Now i have no idea at the breech end if it is .010 on the same side or what .. So using the disc sander will still not make the face parallel with the muzzle. This is all just an experiment.. kind of like seeing what color rooster tail spinner works best for you. Bee nice to make this a tack driver, just not there yet.[ATTACH=CONFIG]38813[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
