I recently had Hans Vang work his magic on my Mossberg 590 barrel. It works as advertised, but it's rough. Hans says he leaves a little bit of machine marks in it to slow the plastic wad down, for a cleaner muzzle release. I have no cause to doubt that, but that same roughness causes terrible leading if you shoot anything without a shot cup (like a slug or S&B buck). Naturally, it's worst in the forcing cone.
We heard from Gale McMillan on this forum that any kind of abrasive cleaner will wreck rifling, but could it be used on a smooth bore? What's the worst that could happen - it'll make the smooth bore smoother? I'm really tempted to put some JB compound on a patch and spin the cleaning rod with a power drill.
