A gun can have a dark bore and be excellent.

My M95 is the hardest recoiling rifle I own. I still have a couple hundred rounds of 7.92x56R ammo with 1930's dates with waffenamps. The last time I shot it, about 4 years ago every round was sure fire. It's gotten a little hard to find though.

I recently read an article detailing how 7.92x56R ammo can be made from 7.62x54R brass and standard 8mm bullets so you can feed it.
