The carriage bolt method is one that a lot of people have used with pretty good success. Some folks recommend a brass bolt. Steel will work, just don't use a very hard, high grade steel or stainless. I would probably avoid using a coarse stone like that shown on the tutorial on an air rifle barrel. Use a good grade of lapping compound and go slow, check your work often.
