Hi, I cleaned the barrel thoroughly, inspected it with a light.  It is not bright.  The lands and grooves are clear to see, but the barrel seems dull to me.  I don't know if I should do anything now; thought I'd shoot it for a while and take another look.  I don't know exactly what to expect from a barrel that is 121 years old.

The bolt is another story;  this is the third Krag I've owned, the first two were sporters.  The first sporter had a cracked lug on the bolt when I bought it.  The dealer quickly replaced that bolt completely.  Since then I have kept that new bolt each time I traded the rifle.  So this is the third rifle I have used that new bolt in.  Thank God for interchangeable parts! 
Thanks again,  larry.k
