After cleaning it with copper brush and Hoppes I can better see the rifling now. But there are many little black pits near the start of the rifling where the bullet is seated. I suspect that maybe the previous owner did not ever clean the barrel since it is so hard to take off the barrel in these Rem. 51's. it is really of not a big matter since I have another better barrel put into this pistol. Now I have this older barrel as a spare.
But will the pitting have a problem with the accuracy? I will try to post a picture later today.
