A year ago Rider showed up with his fancy new toy bore scope.
Knowing how I'd abused the H out of my '17 Enfield for years since 1958.
Cooking it til it glowed in the dark a couple dozen times I wasn't much surprised that it was alligatored all the way to the muzzle.

Next day or so I ordered a new barrel and had it put on just a month or two before our best gunsmith died. I've shot it half dozen times in the trap I welded up in the shop is all.

At times I wish I had a bore scope. Til I look thru that old barrel and it looks so shiney and not a mark anywhere to be seen. Though the rifling is so worn it's hard to see too.
Maybe a $50 or so bore scope would end up being too costly after all. I put close to $400 in that one barrel job over looking thru it that one time.

Good luck with the proof in the pudding. Put 50 thru it, then let us see what it looks like. Good luck.
