I don't know. Put some lipstick on her, dress her up, and we will give her a try.

Looks like South America had it's way with that barrel.

Question I have never seen a barrel pitted that bad before, would that still be safe to shoot with that much metal eaten away?? Just curious is all.

That barrel has been under ground or under water. I doubt the bore looks any better inside than it does outside.

the bore is somehow good with a te 6 and the mz would have been 2.5 but was back bore 1/2" for blank adapter..... poor things been through hell somewhere
