Gun was just as I thought it would be, was in great condition with strong shiny bore with deep lands and grooves. Had some large areas of pitting but was shallow and are easy to buff out, should be a great shooter when restored, came cacked in dry grease and dirt easy clean up, always go hand select if possible they will get you a good one. if you plan to shoot yours, always use the correct ammo and load, and never use smockles powder, and make sure it is in safe condition, a beutiful piece of brittish history.
