The bore has not been cleaned out properly since it was last shot and a well oiled rag returns dirty black / dark brown. Using a bore light the bore looks good in most areas but there looks like there could be very light surface pitting around mid bore however this might be dirt that can be cleaned up with wire brush. The bore has now been sprayed with a light protective gun oil. The nipple and surrounding area all look ok without serious problems. The gun has had some sights mounted to the stock which have now been removed and plugged with wood pegs.
