Title: Re: bore dark and warn

Back in the early 1960s, Navy Arms (Val Forgett) imported a bunch of Norse Krags & advertised them as having "salt & pepper" bores. Their adverts said "where the salt did not pit, the pepper did". Perhaps you have one. Or perhaps yours is one with an even worse bore.

I do not think lining the bore is advisable with a high powered cartridge. Is the rifle worth a new barrel?
