    Winchester M1 Carbine bore pitting.

    I found a winchester m1 carbine for sale locally and the guy let me run a bore scope through and there is quite a bit of pitting. Do you guys think i should walk away from it?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  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. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Don't know why you did two posts the same though... I say again...

    Is that actually pitting? Or is it scaling, like buildup? What's the draw to this particular carbine that you couldn't change barrels or just take another? Just because it's a Winchester? You could always use it for a shooter...
