[QUOTE="okie shooter, post: 976104, member: 7987"] Counter boreing was done on alot of Nagant rifles, due to chrosive ammo, and lack of cleaning during the war. The salts in the primers, attracted moisture especally near the muzzle, pitting the end of the rifling. The Soviets then when taking the rifles back to war reserve, the counter bored the pitted rifleing towards the end of the bore. This is to keep the pits from effecting the accuracy. Thus you will see the bore actually cleaned up by the boring to remove the rifleing somewhat. [/QUOTE]
