[QUOTE="HiredHand, post: 1100391, member: 2469"] I have to agree with you on the cleaning. Most of the surplus military guns I've seen have been covered in a cosmoline type grease. They usually look like crap but after a good cleaning inside and out come out pretty nice. You can't look at a barrel and know if it "shoots" that's why there are tools for measuring throat, muzzle erosion, and slugging the barrel to measure the bore. Sure, you can visually see some defects but sometimes a barrel that isnt' perfect shoots just fine. We're talking about old military surplus not precision shooting equipment. All that aside if a dealer sold me a surplus weapon that had been graded and I felt like it didn't meet that grade criteria I'd send it back. [/QUOTE]
