I dunno. That bore looks like it was carved out by hand with a dull chisel. I don't think fire lapping would make a dent in that.

This is a boring (pun intended

) topic. As others have asked, how does it shoot?

Some AMTs have long barrels that aren't easily replaced. Stainless steel was very difficult to mill in the early days. Whether it just slipped through quality control or was just how the barrels were produced I don't know. But cleaning may or may not be a chore in the future. You sound like you have all the tools for cleaning, so only you know whether it will be a chore.

So what do you think? If the gun shoots well and cleans up well, you may not have a problem.
