    Some barrels you can, if they have enugh outside diameter.
    What kind of barrel do you want bored.

        Yes, you need to clarify whether you mean actually bore out a barrel for inserts, or bore out a barrel to a larger id.

        We used to use 12 gauge shotgun barrel hones to enlarge our barrels back in the late 80's and early 90's when paint was large bore and barrels were tighter because of closed bolt ball roll out issue that pumps have. Quite often the barrels were too tight and accuracy suffered so we honed them out. Many thought the accuracy increased because of the smoothing of the bore, but it was the enlarging of the bore so that the balls barely touched in two spots opposite each other that made the difference.
        Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

              Use a 12 gauge barrel hone to enlarge by a few thousandths.

              Edit: I fell into the decimal trap but the result is still the same. The 12 gauge barrel hone is the way to go.

                Aren't you going to lose your anodization if you do this?

                  Yes, any boring and honing removes the anodized surface. You can have it redone if you want.

                          was it the 180 or 800 grit? did you use lube when honing? thank U so much...
