Rifle or revolver/pistol barrel?

To fix what problem?

In my revolvers which had a constriction at the barrel-frame union I've hand lapped out the constrictions (~.0010"-.0015") using a very tight cotton patch (usually several layers) on a cleaning rod, with a generous amount of abrasive compound on it, & concentrating action in the area of the constriction.

Extra elbow grease is optional.

The constriction is detected using a set of pin gages by confirming smooth passage of the largest gage thru the whole length of the barrel.

Repair is confirmed once the gage passes the constricted point.
