I just picked up a CVA mountain Rifle from a range acquaintance who has not used it in years. The Barrel had some rust but cleaned up to be bright. He said that he had only used a couple years deer hunting.
1. First even though the barrel is shiny when I put the bore light down the barrel I can see what looks like rough marks (not pitting) could this barrel be so new that the lack of use has not smoothed out the marks from when the barrel was made?
2. I try to get inexpensive BP guns so I can clean them up and sell inexpensively to the rendezvouses teenagers whose parents cannot afford to pay $500.00 plus for a shooter. This rifle seems heavy.
3 I do not know much about this rifle. I searched mountain rifle on the forum but did not see much about the performance of the gun and the quality of the barrel. Your input is welcomed.
4. If I offered it to a young rendezvouses participant for $300.00 would this be fair?
Thanks in advance for any advise and information
