As you predicted, the guy in the shop ran a cylindrical gauge down the barrel from the chamber and showed a steady, clear 7.62mm throughout.

Seems like the barrel of the Zastava is in good condition!!

Still not sure I want to spend so much on a used gun, mind...

For €75 more I can get a brand new Marlin!!
