Anyone scope theirs?

This one was not good:

Yikes. There were some rough spots in that barrel that were PRE-chrome plating. I'd guess that they'd fill in with copper over the first few hundred rounds. Interesting. I'd love to shoot that exact barrel and see how the flaws impact accuracy.

Hmmm, interesting science project but really.... suspect barrels of unknown quality...

I wish I had a scope. Not worth it for me to buy one, but I'd be curious to see if there was a theme going here. I doubt I'll order another one of these at this point.

Well, as kids these days would say, oof.

I would really love to see the barrel in the video shot for accuracy over several hundred rounds... and then re-scoped to see how the flaws appear over time.

I'll ask the owner to send it back to me once he burns through a half case.

Cool. Did you make the video? That would be facinating to see.

(also I sped through the video from home to get to the scope portion. Could the flaws be felt when cleaning/brushing the bore??

I would love to hear from the owner once he shoots a significant amount of ammo through his. I bought two, and over all they look good prior to seeing that video

I've actually been cleaning mine between shoots believe it or not. I tried tight patching it last night to see if I felt any roughness in the bore, and it only slips a little at the gas port location... a half inch or so.

Since it shoots 1.25 MOA bullets about 1.25 MOA, I can't complain. I might shoot some OTMs next to see if I can't get MOA or less.

I'd love to see out the barrel in the video shoots NOW and Later.
