Eagerly awaiting the arrival of my new Ruger Predator rifle and wanted to pick up some lapping compound to smooth out the bolt.
Went to the local Autozone store and asked the clerk where the lapping compound was. Young boy of around 20 or so. I have primers older than him. Blank stare. He asked his slightly older co-worker. Never heard of it. Then the middle-aged female manager came out and, again, had no idea what I was talking about.
So I got to explain to all three what lapping compound is and how it is used in engine building and firearms.
They didn't have any.
Napa was closed, so had to drive the fifteen miles back home empty-handed.
I wonder what else today's auto parts store clerks have never heard of...
