Dear 1SHOT1KILL,
Thanks for your kind reply. I would tend to agree with your assessment that these are machine marks and that they are essentially cosmetic and nothing more.
It would seem strange to me that they could affect accuracy to any extent that I could percieve, but being a brand new gun I wasn't sure if I should fire it first. The company I purchased it from offers all of their guns with a "Lifetime Warranty" and I'm sure they'd make good on these marks, but I really don't want to send a new gun back to the factory if it isn't really necessary.
I like your advice about shooting some different loads and judging it's accuracy first.
Is there anything I could do to maybe polish out these marks a bit so they don't collect leading or cooper fouling?
I know there are metal polishes that might do the trick. JB makes a product called "Bore Shine" I think, that might smooth them out a bit.
Anyway Thanks again for your response.
Hondo
