Winchester M1 Carbine bore pitting.

[arbo34]

I found a winchester m1 carbine for sale locally and the guy let me run a bore scope through and there is quite a bit of pitting. Do you guys think i should walk away from it?

Don't know why you did two posts the same though... I say again...

Is that actually pitting? Or is it scaling, like buildup? What's the draw to this particular carbine that you couldn't change barrels or just take another? Just because it's a Winchester? You could always use it for a shooter...

It's a Winchester M1....if the price is right, grab it......
