This look like pitting to you?

[stephen cockerham]

Looking at an auction for a stainless NMA and the rest of the gun looks fine, but the bore looks funky and I can't tell if it's pitting or just dirty. I'm inclined to believe it's pitting, but the way the light is hitting it is probably making it look worse than it actually is.

I asked the seller for more pictures of the bore and he said that due to the length of the barrel it's difficult to get the light and camera at the right angle to get more than that spot. He did say he'd give me a refund if I wanted it, so that's a lot better than the last cap and ball I bought used off GB.

jack rabbit 1957 is right. make sure the crown is perfect and that is easy to do. a little pitting wont hurt accuracy at all. when you get the gun if you buy it clean it and keep cleaning it. i bet it will be a good shooter and if their is pitting it wont get worse. lube you bullets good.
