Similar bullets leaving the same barrel will have similar markings/scrapes, as they are forced trough the slightly smaller barrel.

Cleaning the barrell should not make a difference, but damaging it with hard substance (sand, aluminum oxide, silicone carbide, diamond dust) would change the barrels fingerprint.

Since barrels are replaceable and are not regulated, replacing the barrell is much easier than messing with it.
