How's the bore?

[5MadFarmers]

, just pleased to get one straight answer.

How would you know if it's straight if you don't know the condition of the bore?

Dan, you feeling ok?

(Couldn't resist. No Dan, you're not a bore.).

Old boars at this board are bored by bores who ask about bores!

Attempting to top that is futile.

From the tone of a couple of the responses, I just want to clarifiy that I was only playing with the word bore itself - nothing negative was intended against any individual, or the OP's pet peeve.

Damn the tones! It's all good!

What's not good is sellers that leave out the heart and soul of what they are trying to sell!

They figure we're all collectors, a fellow would have to be nuts to shoot a 100+ yr old rifle.

Just a Hundred? Heck that's qualifies as one of my more modern rifles.

Amen to that!

My eldest are 119, but the bores aren't that old.

Bore, boor, what difference does it make?
Any purchase online is fraught with peril. I bought a rifle years ago (as a collectible...) with the bore described as "bright". It was bright alright, but the rifling resembled smoke tendrils, it was so shot out. At least it was cleaned properly!
