In my old Mauser 98...
How much rifling should be noticeable at the muzzle versus the entirety of the barrel? When I look down the tube from the receiver it shows nice prominent and clean riffling, but looking into the barrel from the muzzle the rifling is very shallow and not very visible for a few centimeters. Is this a deal breaker?
edit: A bullet of the same caliber does not slide in the muzzle, so I know it is still tight, I am just unsure on how much rifling should be visible or palpable at the muzzle. Also, I noted that the rifling starts right away after the chamber ends and there doesn't appear to be any abnormalities in that area nor any discoloration in the chamber form improper firing issues or excessive wear.
