I agree with Darkstar and Jordan that it's good to have two names, that way we don't have to say 'car' when we mean 'that ford focus', however 'that ford focus' is still a 'car'.
That's why I apologized repeatedly for using the term detent in such a way as to confuse people, but here you guys are still talking about it.
That way you don't ever have to pony up to the fact that you were wrong, that swabs are FAR WORSE than the CORRECT flexhone, apparently all anyone else around here has seen is the silicon carbide hogger.

You know, one thing that hasnt been said here, is that if you flexhone your hard anno aluminum barrel, your going to end up with a soft aluminum interior, which will scratch a hell of a lot easier. If you polish it just a tad, you are smoothing out that anodeisation crystal layer

You just plain can't polish without removing material Azzy, what, the metal magically squishes around like Elmer's Glue??? WGP elves again?
That is just silly, you are removing material!
The truth is any way you slice it a swab is less effective and removes more barrel than a hone because it's pressing on the metal of your barrel as hard as it is even on paint residue in the barrel.

This thread wasn't about paint, so I didn't talk about paint, it was about barrel honing, says so right in the title, so I talked about barrel honing.
