Bore Pics -- Showing Off a Bit! W00T!

[Josh Smith]

Hello,

I got done cleaning out my Gewehr 88's bore. To check any work I do, I usually use macro pictures as well as magnifying tools.

This bore actually went back to almost-new condition. The rust that was on it hadn't penetrated too far down -- looks like it was maybe just there from sitting unprotected for a year in a gunshop, assumed to be a parts gun!







I am rather thrilled.

This means my rifle is in 95% or better condition -- on of the better ones out there -- and the bore is not nearly as bad as I thought!

The only problem is that it's not all matching, but no biggie. I probably wouldn't shoot it otherwise!

Not bad for $37.50, eh?

Regards,

Josh

$37.50, wow. That's very impressive!

The price is right, the bore....... well. But all in all, a very good deal.

Looks like the thing is all set to outlive your great-grandchildren ... Well done !

Shoot it and the bore will cleanup even more! Did that with mine and saved some elbow grease..

Yep, a good coat of copper to fill those craters, should be good.
