Hope to shoot later this week.  Bore was a uniform brown and had a pebble profile. I do not think oil would have coated as thick as this was. maybe grease but it was very uniform from end to end. what ever it was did a good job of protecting but was very difficult to get out. no telling how long it had been in there.</p></blockquote><p></p>
