Recondition a bore?

Is it possible to recondition the bore of a barrel? I know it would be easier to buy a new barrel, but I'm curious if it can be done at all, and if so, who does it?

Maybe if you recondition it to a larger caliber!

I believe that Otis claims to have made a 'shoot it in' three-part ceramic bore coating that 'fills' low spots and makes a permanent (and hard and smooth) ceramic matrix in your bore.

Sounds really cool - but one would expect them to say great things about their product. I have not tested it.

Peace.
