I have been looking for a T/C SB and know nothing about SBs.
I have found a T/C 56 SB which would pass for possibly unfired. It is in excellent shape except for two (2) small pits in the barrel about 1/2" down from the muzzle.
The wife, who has very small hands, said that when she runs here "pinky" finger over them she can just barely feel them. She said that if I had not pointed them out to her, she is not sure she would have noticed them.
I plan on shooting .015 teflon pathces and .550 balls as recommended in the TC book. From reading here, it appears that 50 yards or so is about the limit for a SB. Do you think the small pits will affect accuracy?
Is this a gun to run from or take a chance on?
Thanks
