You might not like the shiny finish it leaves but a ball hone would probably work pretty well.

Thanks Bob - that may be an option.
Greg, what kind of finish does a ball hone leave? |

I actually didn't realize they marketed those hones specifically towards shotguns.
But in any case they will leave more of a homogenous, smooth, shiny finish than a reamer. A reamer will leave a duller finish with visible toolmarks, albeit slight ones. The nice thing about a ball/flex hone is you can 'creep up' on the finished dimension more easily. With a reamer you're moving up in more definite increments. |

But the ball hone will remove metal while leaving a polished finish?

I have a number of their hones that I use to "polish" bores. You will work a long time before you remove any real meat from the barrels.
I would recommend a brake cylinder hone. Risking criticism, I will confess to using these to smooth the metal after reaming chokes. Bob Jurewicz |

Yes, it will remove metal. From what you describe, I would get the hone balls wet with oil, and the barrel, and run it in a cordless drill. I'd expect it would take 5-10 minutes total, with some as-you-go checks.
