Jeff, the one on my chummy is getting to that point. I plan doing what Ivor suggests, though I will also lubricate with graphite flake when I reassemble.

Brasso is also not what it was, Autosol or Peek is now my preferred brass lapping compound. Sometimes I use 'Pink' bought from B&M it is a compound sold to housewives for cleaning around the house. Its coarser than Autosol or Peek.

Do not lap with any form of carborundum, valve grinding paste etc it will embed in the brass and you will get nowhere.
