[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 255941, member: 7999"] Got the barrel scoped. It shows some heavy heat cracking, rust pitting, and copper fouling. It also shows a lot of tooling marks. This one is a bit puzzling, as this is not from abuse. This is reported to be a Lilja barrel, although there is no identifying marks to say so. Upshot is the smith that scoped it thought we could salvage some accuracy out of the rifle if I can get it stripped down. Trying JB Bore Cleaning Compound along w/ Barnes copper solvent. Hopefully this will get this rifle down to a good enough group to hunt to 300yrds. Steve [/QUOTE]
