bore looks good in the one pic. I have noticed that often times the rifling on these old rifles looks weak, and sometimes the bore looks depressingly pitted or grungy. If the rifle was well used with soft 20:1 or higher alloy bullets (as should be the case), there is a nice film of lead covering the bore which accounts for the grunginess or pitting. Use pure copper wool to scrub and you will see deep rifling, and mirror bright bore underneath once the lead coating is removed.

I was very impressed with the bore on this one. It just had a little grime that was removed with a couple quick passes of the brush. It’s as shiny as a brand new rifle. Thanks for checking on the serial and I will try again later with the pics.

I do see the first picture of the bore. Several close in SRS book 2. SC militia in 1898 Close however means nothing.
