Lapping a lever action carbine...
I have a Rossi M92 in three five seven that is handy, smooth as a hounds tooth, fitted with fine sights and very accurate. The action is also very tight.
Years ago I lapped a Norinco 1911 that was a bit tight and rough by mixing a slurry of 1000 grit abrasive with WD40 and filled the pistol up with it until it ran out and cycled the action a couple of hundred times. After the pistol was completed cleaned out at a solvent sink and relubed it was one of the slickest .45s I have handled.
Is this an viable way to smooth up this little trapper?
Thanks in advance.
