Just kidding. That's my son ;)

BTW I slugged the bore and could not get the slug of lead I had to grab the grooves. So the best I can say at this point is that the lands measure at .300 exactly. Grooves look shallow, so I'm going to harbor a guess that it's a .308" barrel. Bore is shiny with just a hint of frost.
