I repeat what I clearly posted earlier, with a superfine flexhone, it took 30 passes to remove .002. How does 30 passes qualify as 'easy' exactly? What, I fell asleep at ten and didn't snap out of it until 19 later? 
Be honest, have you ever even seen one of the Levigated Alumina? They are a special order and never came in the airsmith kit. you're criticising a hone that I NEVER recommended I think. Just like a detent is not necessarily a wedgit, a 160 grit Silicon Carbide is not the same as an 800 grit AO or the one above that, the LA superfine.
The irony is, I have a stack of barrels to hone at a HSI scenario game this weekend from people who don't know or care about any of this. They've just seen me make shots that their regular barrels don't allow them to make. If I can beat a pump Viper in the chrony station at HS at a game of P-I-G(like the basketball version) with a $120 cheesemetal hongkong special and I have and would be happy to again, they just want to get some of that.
I will now and finally stand quietly by what I've said, secure that when I was shown to be wrong in this thread I promptly apologized, as I always try to do.

christ dude, stop posting!!!
you repeat the same argument.. and I think anyone who read the first page worth of posts could get the gist of the whole thread.. Barrel hones are your favorite, and according to you, polish makes grooves bigger... which is debateable.. (by not stating an argument, I'm giving you a reason not to state a counter argument.. so we both can leave this beaten horse of a thread)
and swabs are an ok alternative as a cheap quick, and easy way to do it..
as azzy says, Jelly balls!!! not precision ground musket balls
