I will take your advice, Strafer.

F16,

Very good news about the performane of a less than perfect barrel.

I went to work on the bore of the rifle I bought on Saturday and the thing came out looking pretty darned good.

The rifling is very good. The finish on the surface of the lands and grooves has some very minor pitting. Very minor indeed.

We shall see.
