Default Lapping nylon

Folks,

I'm attempting to fit a 1.5 inch nylon cylinder into a 1 inch diameter
metal sleeve. The nylon will act as a piston for my spring piston
pellet gun. I've heard for years that auto engine pistons are lap
fitted for each cylinder and would like to give it a try. Could someone
give me the basic idea of how this might be done for nylon?

Thanks

Tut
