I remember when Remington started advertiseing there 22 ammo as being pocket proff, meaning that the bullets wouldn't pick up lint and grit.
This same coating they used also lubed the barrel.

I take these with a grain of salt, but it is important to realize that lapping is a machining technique to produce very flat surfaces in steel -- somethimes very hard steel. It is done by putting an abrasive lapping compound on a lap. The lap most often is a softer material than the part being lapped. The abrasive beds in the soft material and abrades the hard material.

When talking about lapping you said that the abrasive lapping material being softer than the part to be lapped. Maybe I'm reading this wrong but I believe aluminum oxide and silicon carbide is used in lapping. I believe both of those materials are harder than steel otherwise they wouldn't even scratch the metal. Still confused! SS

Yes the lapping compound will be very hard, nearly diamond hard. What I am talking about is the lap. This will usually be a softer iron material with slots cut in it. The abrasive lapping compount beds itself in the softer iron and holds it, so it can cut the hard steel component being lapped. Hope that makes sense. Of course in gun cleaning you don't intentionaly have any abrasive, but there is the powder residue.
