That the author's shooting skill frequently does inhale sharply is a record of fact. Consequently, his search for nick nacks, gadgets and scapegoats is never ending. I do appreciate the advice and counsel of my TFL colleges.

If the bore appears smooth and shiney is there any good reason to "Fire-Lap" a 45 ACP barrel? If the bore is pitted should it be "Fire-Lapped" or replaced?

All the best,
