Rough chambers are bad news , iclund is correct about a good smith and a sharp reamer will produce a good chamber .
How ever we have tested chambers up to a 2500 grit finish (polished ) and had non of the issues claimed ,problem is most people will wreck a chamber polishing if there not careful ,it’s easy to make the chamber big at the back if you get aggressive ,

This thread is about an aftermarket barrel.
