Will try it again and see how it goes nowI have given it another scouring out.
If it still feels rough when loading, I will find some hones I have "somewhere"!

I have a matchlock with these saddle bands, but have not seen David's saddles he mentions.
See below;

Hi Richard.

Finally back home. LOL That barrel band looks Afghan to me. You see this style on Jazails. But I still like the colored leather bands idea.
Shotgun Hone: There are a couple different ones out there. Here is a pic of the one I use. The stones actually pivet as you go back and forth in the bore. Would also automatically adjust to get the slightly smaller restricted area. They are very inexpensive, and you can purchase extra stone sets. Works great even by hand. Just twist as you go back and forth. They also make a polishing tool with compound.
