what is a good barrel lapping compound....???
JB Bore Cleaner, is currently available, as is USP Bore Paste. Can anyone shed any light on if they have significant differences, and if they do, what they might be? Does USP make JB for Brownells? Some years back, I bought a tube of the Bore Paste, that laid on its side, in my gun cleaning kit for some time, in hot weather. When I finally used it, it had separated in the tube, abrasive concentrate on one side, and what looked like grease on the other. Say what you will about the glass jars, but they certainly are better for remixing separated contents. If for some reason I become convinced that the Bore Paste is better, I will definitely look around for a small jar to transfer it into.
Boyd, I've seen only a couple of bore paste products in tubes, but the one in the white tube is one of my favorites for getting carbon out of throats. Don't know what's different about it and J-B or USP or Rem Clean, but it has skinned carbon right out of barrel throats that the others had little or no effect on. Only reservation I have about using it is that when used to excess, I believe it'll put a polish on a bore that's fine enough so that it may actually increase the tendency to copper foul.

Anyone ever play with Flitz?
