Hello! Like a lot of folks on here, I'm looking into doing a restoration on an IMA Nepal Cache weapon. I'm currently looking at an 1853 Enfield. While I decide which direction I want to go, I'm researching everything I'll need to know to do a good, proper, restoration to (hopefully) shootable condition. I understand the barrels on these usually come with some significant pitting and have heard people mention testing the weapons to make sure they are safe to shoot.

Question I have is: Whats the best/proper way to do that, other than just loading it and firing it with a shoestring?
