Bore pic please…

That stock has been heavily sanded and the metal refinished at some point. Just letting others know this gun is not in original condition.

Bore pic please…

I’m sorry, I don’t have a bore light and couldn’t get a very good view with a flashlight
I ran a shot gun mop down the bore and I couldn’t feel any ‘catches’. From what I can see and feel the bore should be ok.

All the metal has been cleaned up but I don’t think the stock was sanded.

That rifling looks fine for an original. Wide, shallow grooves. What happened to guy who said he would take it if you put a bore pic up?
