martini henry MK IV

[enfield n2 mk1]

I have a MK2 as a collector's piece, not a shooter, that has an apparently good bore and the barrel looks good from the top but when the fore-end wood is removed it reveals a seriously corroded underside to the barrel. It has deep rust/corrosion pitting. This doesn't matter to me because it's only owned as a collector's item/ornament but it does highlight why something like this should be carefully inspected if anyone ever considers using one of these.

i have the same problem on a Enfield N1 MKIII
all the barrel is verry clean inside , but deep rusted under the woods
with a "DP" mark for Drill Purpose on the top of the barrel
