[QUOTE="Harley1953, post: 970264, member: 5145"] Folks, I am almost ashamed to even post this, but here goes. When inspecting a rifle(or any firearm) what do your really look for when inspecting the condition of a barrel? Obviously, any rust,pitting, etc, but I have read things like "rifling is frosted" Bore is dark Counterbore/no counterbore And other comments I don't remember. Been around firearms most of my life but really other than "It looks good on the outside and I can see the rifling in the barrel." What are YOUR inspection tips techniques? Apologize for such a dumb question, but help a brother out... FYI- Just broke down and got a C&R so I am thinking it might just be a good idea to learn what I am looking for...... Thanks in advance for any help.. [/QUOTE]
