Do any of you folks know of a shotgun gunsmith that I could send my new Weatherby SO-8 12 gauge barrel for polishing? Thanks...

Its very easy if you fallow the sticky post at the top of this section. If your still not sure you wanna do it try Rob Roberts at gobbler guns.com he might do it.

wrightsgunsmiths.com These folks do excellent first class work. They may however be very busy currently because the Scholastic Clays National Championship and the Grand American National Championship take place next month at the World Shooting Complex near them. They are always very busy during that time.

Thanks,

Just found out my barrel is chrome lined so I think I wasted your time...

Few ways to do it.  Best thing is to just clean the barrel good and get any oil out of it.  Now if you going to put it up for a few months you can oil it but get it out before you start patterning it.   :anim_25:

I'd recommend the "deep cleaning" process.
