I have been collecting for more than 60 years and I seldom worry about bore condition, unless it is a really minty gun with a sewer pipe bore...that puts me off a bit. I have bought several guns without looking down the bore, and I don't get all upset if the firing pin or grips do not match. Guess I am too mellow for my own good, but rarity and overall condition rings my chimes. But, I do not purchase a refinished gun unless it is so rare I most likely will never see another one. And if refinished it has to be close to a good restoration not a buff and blue bubba job...I couldn't live with that.
