Yes, I should have taken a pic of the bore. I had bought a gun and had looked at a couple of more when I noticed the Luger...there was a lot going on. I thought I looked at it, and it looked good but I looked at three more firearms there, so things got a little unclear in my head on the bore specifically...

I should expect a minimal amount of pitting, and 80-90% good rifling to qualify it as a 'good bore'.

Here is a pic of a 1917 DMW Luger I bought earlier. In my view, the bore should be no worse than this, right?
