I remember bores looking a lot nicer than what we get now. Some looked like a mirror.
I'm not complaining either rather just observing bore quality of the past vs now with the high speed, mass produced bores we have now. Now I understand why some shooters prefer match barrels.
I read a article about a fellow who purchased a 1911-A1 9mm barrel dirt cheap where he observed horrible bore machine marks. When he performed a shooting test of the barrel using ransom rest with 30 shot groups, the accuracy was there!
Thanks for your comments Steve!
