What to look for (seeing this is a 1905 gun). Bore condition - sharpness of lands / grooves, No pits Lack of "Frosting" - at the beginning of the barrel in front of chamber and any length of the barrel - NOTE, I don't have a problem with Frosting as long as the rifling in the 2nd half of the barrel is good. Barrels "ring" true - hold them by the hook on your finger and tap the muzzle with a spoon - both barrels should "ring" like a bell. If not, rib is coming loose somewhere. Half cock of hammers work - do a drop test onto something soft like carpet at both full cock and half cock. |
