Well, I finally picked it up from the store the other day. The bore looks as great as the rest of the gun. Nothing hidden in the cleaning kit area in the buttstock.

I found one local store that has Remington 180grain 30-40 ammo at 40 dollars a box so I only put 6 rounds thru it as a test fire. Really accurate if the shooter does their part. Shooting offhand, I managed to put 2 out of 6 onto a 14” steel plate at 300yards.
