Hey folks, new to the forum.
Looking at buying a model 54 Winchester in .30-06. Serial number puts it made in 1926. I'm seeing some strange (to me anyway) pitting in the barrel. I understand that it can't be removed and that the only way to know if it'll shoot is to just shoot it and see. Just wondering if anyone else has ever seen anything like this, and if so what was your experience?
What is odd about it to me is that the pits are in a ring around the inside of the bore. Not right at the muzzle, or right at the throat. Best I can tell it's about 7" from the muzzle. Attempted to get a pic, will post that later.
