Boss Hoss, Where have you listed your barrel cleaning process. I would be interested to read it. Most have a unique process that can be learned from.
Most of the Items mentioned above will be pluses whether or not a new tube is installed. For example a New trigger. It will be a benefit for the life of the action. There is no doubt that a new barrel is the best route to achieving accuracy. But, even a great barrel will not shoot to its potential if it is not set in a square action that has been bedded properly. I think that we both agree but are taking different routes to achieve the same end result. Like restoring an old car. Do you build an engine and paint it later, or do you paint it first and build an engine later? All depends upon what is desired in the now.
