New BBL..What am I Seeing??

[25PRC]

For the purpose of focusing on the bbl, the manufacturer will remain unknown. My question, this a new unfired bbl. I just cleaned it and was going to head out to sight it in. What the heck, let’s bore scope it and see if it is clean.
Having scoped many center fire bbls I was shocked at what I was seeing. Being fairly new to newer muzzle firearms, is this acceptable for use? Any comments on what you see?

No barrel is supposed to look like that.

disappointing. Going to to be more difficult to clean with all the nooks and crannies?

It looks like they made two passes with a button and they weren't indexed properly.

Are you taking guesses on which company produced that barrel?

 

[25PRC]

Let me find out what the company does and says. They have the bbl as of Tuesday.

I have dibs on CVA, just saying. Just for an FYI button rifling is a single pull or push (not standard) operation, all the rifling is formed in one go.

The OP sent me a PM about posting pics of his barrel and I asked him not to name the company and referenced this MML rule:

Button rifled with a very worn out button. No need to name the manufacturer...we all know who made this turd.

That would certainly be a smart investment for even the beginner. Imagine it....T7 or BH to learn, then smokeless to get through the rest of one's. One gun. Do all. And made the way one wants it made from the get-go. Its just darned hard to imagine anything even remotely better.
