Cpt:

Interesting thread, but not one I can comment on given my non-existent knowledge of the topic. But I do hae one question along the lines of barrels.

I know the steels used in the "olden" days of DR manufacturing (pre-WWII) were not up to snuff with the stuff they have today. My question is, how often will you look at the rifling in the barrel and see what looks like pitting in the groves? Seems to me that on most of the older guns I've seen had what looked like pitting in the groves, but didn't disrupt how the rifle shot. Is this a flaw in the steel or genuine pitting?
