    Is this throat erosion? Pictures included

    Is the throat on my model 1924 Yugoicon Mauser eroded. I'm having a hard time finding pictures to compare to and I don't really know what I'm looking for.

Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    doesn't look like it to me - appears to be the typical throat / leade that guides the bullet into the bore.....

    This is a pretty good explanation with good drawings of throat erosion.

    Even though you take a really good picture, it's difficult to tell from a picture. It might be erosion or it might not be. How well does the thing shoot?
    Spelling and Grammar count!

    It's my first gun so it's hard to say how it shoots because I suck. But I was doing well with some egyptian surplus ammo. Me and a friend got a little carried away and put about 150 rounds through it in an hour It was really hot after that and we had a blown primer with the last round. next time I used it i was shooting Prvi Partizan soft point 8mm mauser ammo and I was all over the place, much worse than with the egyptian stuff. I was worried that the 150 rounds of egyptian stuff eroded it a bit.

    Here's a pic of a chambered round:
