Excellent advice, Thor. I once had a 1917 DWM Artillery that looked awful on the outside and the bore was pitted pretty badly. Not only did it shoot very well but it was even good with cast bullets! I still have a 1927 Argentine .45 with a sewer pipe bore that is amazingly accurate with cast bullets and jacketed bullets too. I agree with Thor.... shoot it first.
