[QUOTE="milo-2, post: 3083241, member: 33622"] I bought a Hawkey 12 yrs ago under the assumption that I was qualified to interpret what I saw inside a barrel. Barrels that clearly had tooling marks, shot extremely well, and some finely lapped customs were good, but not Great. I have since mainly use to determine cleaning intervals. Though, to my credit, on a Proof carbon 6mm barrel, I did find an edge hanging off one rifling 3" in that shed copper extremely bad, not only in that groove, but the grooves to either side of it, though not as bad. It never affected the precision aspect of the rifle, but was going to cause issues cleaning it. I ironed it out 3rd try with JB paste and that barrel was one of the most accurate Dashers I loaded for. You are right, keep things in perspective! [/QUOTE]
