I have this M1916 Spanish Mauser that's been shooting inconsistent point-of-impact. The bore is clean and not "shot out", the rifling is not too bad, typical of bolt-action milsurps of this age, modest rounding of the land edges, but the lands do look like they might have some surface pitting going on. That's to the naked eye, as I don't have a borescope. I suppose that could account for it spraying bullets all over the place?? And I suppose I could just keep shooting it until the copper deposits from the FMJ bullets smooth over the pits? But 7 mm Mauser is not cheap. I've Flitzed chambers before with rifles that had sticky extraction issues, and that worked. What do you guys think of Flitzing the whole barrel bore?
