Good morning.
That's what happens when outside is raining and I can't go shooting... I get bored and waste time on this kind of thing...
So out of curiosity, I used a borescope to have a look inside my new Barlein 20" barrel; I was looking in particular for copper fouling and in general for the amount of crap left in the rifling after cleaning.
It comes out that the barrel was pretty clean (maybe some residues in the gas port area, but nothing excessive), but going through the barrel I saw a lot of irregularities like the ones displayed below.
I never bothered to check the barrels of my other 10 rifles since they are not meant for precision shooting, so the question is if that is normal for a high-quality barrel or it is something I should worry about in terms of accuracy..... Will these scratches be leveled by bullets' residues in time?
Am I being unnecessarily paranoid?
