Hand Lapping Rifle Barrels - What Tools are Needed?

I am tinkering with an AR-15 trying to squeeze all the accuracy I can get and hand lapping the barrel is the one thing I can't seem to find much information. What specific tools and techniques are needed? I realize buying the best barrel is the way to go but this is more of a hobby quest.

Have you bore-scoped the barrel?

I have not bore-scoped either barrel (1 new and 1 used). What does that tell me?

BTW, I have no access to a bore-scope.

Google "JB bore cleaner and Kroil"

Just wondering if there was some reason you felt there were issues in the barrel that needed addressing by lapping. Bore scope may reveal a perfect finshed smooth barrel... or not.

Don't reinvent the wheel, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Brass, primer, powder, bullet, range time.

Fot fire lapping google David Tubbs.

Right on the money. The barrel get s a shine while the shooter gains experience.

x2 the best and easiest way to lap a barrel. Hand lapping can cause problems if done incorrectly.

Somehow I knew you would take this position JG

This is just an experiment. I see many rifle builders mention hand lapping and just wanted to try it.

Thanks for the Shooting Times article, I will check it out.
