[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 972243, member: 7157"] That's where the bore has a glazed appearance, almost like the frosting on a window. It's sometimes caused by very fine pitting in the bore's surface, and other times it's just residue causing the glazed look. If you shine a light in one end of the barrel and look down the other end, the bore's surface would look a bit "hazy" as opposed to mirror-bright. If it's residue, a good cleaning will remove the frosting. If it's pitting, then not much you can do - but the firearm's accuracy may not even be affected. It's easier to see frosting in a bore if you can compare two firearms side by side, one known to have a frosted bore and the other having a mirror-bright bore. [/QUOTE]
