Ginny, you stated : "I note that the inside of the 650 is very rough compared to my 660, is there something that can be done about that. I'm pretty sure the roughness makes for a less pleasing tone. "

That is NOT entirely the case. Some rough barrels play very well, and some smooth ones do not. Opperman always stated that once you get to the sound you want, do not do anything more to the bore. I agree, although I do burnish and seal most of the bores that I fashion.
In other words....Handsome is as handsome does.

Salzo....I grew up in Phila., but now live near Pittsburgh.
