Well Buck, that is a “revolting development” to say the least…….

As an aside; looking at your chamber cast, what do you suppose the deal is with the leade/throat? Looks like at least 1” of freebore or even case neck outside diameter ahead of the case mouth.

Hello 3DogMike,
Thanks for the reply.

As per their auction listing - it said ...... "Bore is very good with light wear" That's another bunch of crap! There is no rifling for the first 1-1/2" in the throat, and as you noted, throat is burned out to case mouth diameter, and same goes for the last 1" at the muzzle, that's also void of any rifling. The rest of the barrel is shallow 4-groove that is rough. If they can't get the caliber right, why would one believe anything else they said about the bore.
