That is a very kind offer. I just tore it down and posted a update what I found. I know after the next visit to the range if the barrel worth playing with. Crown was washed out. Poorly polished. I no longer have access to a lathe. Gave it to a buddy to recrown. His range rod went in deeper than he is a custom to. We did not slug the bore, the scope did not show any major faults. The feed ramps were denting the shoulders and causing severe bullet runout problems verified on my Sinclair Bullets runout gage . A bullet with .004 going in ejected with over .025. And dents and gouges that could interfere with the round sitting correctly in the chamber. A little reprofile and polishing solved that. Thanks for the kind offer, I may very well take you up on it.
