I posted a thread in the semi rifle forum about my brand new, unfired VZ58 (assembled from military spares stock and sold as a civilian semi-auto). The thread is here, complete with a picture of the problem.
The problem is that there are several places where the chrome rifling has been damaged/chipped, right below the crown.
This is not the States and just getting a new gun as a replacement is not an option, so I want to have some viable alternatives ready for the shop to increase the chances of getting this taken care of satisfactorily.
If given to a smith what are the options for tidying that muzzle so that I can get the most accuracy out of this gun as I can?
I don't think a rebarrel is likely, nor do I think a repatriation to the CZ factory is going to happen either.
So, I'm open to all suggestions that involve working on the gun as it is.
