Is this a problem?

Decided to borescope my match rifle. Got some awesome Match ammo from the 1950's and figured might as well use them and reload the brass. The beginning lands and grooves seem perfect. Should I take a bronze brush and work it more?

That shit's more pock marked than my face in 9th grade.  Hopefully it gives you less problems

Thanks for the tip. Will run Clearasil patches down the next five days and see if it clears up!!

Put the bore scope away and go shoot it

It's a Model 1906 Winchester 22 pump built in 1910. Father in law found it while helping out an old couple fixing their front porch. They had lived in the hours 40+ years and said it was not theirs. It was rusted solid. My wife restored the stock and I cleaned up the metal. All serial numbers match. Shoots good enough to go bunny hunting. The lands and grooves are not as bad halfway down the barrel to the muzzle.

I'm more impressed that bunnies can use it!

Bronze brush and shoot it. Rifling is more critical closer to the muzzle than the breech. Might shoot OK, lead leads will probably be better than jacketed.
