Looks like you were unable to clean it out.
Could you take a o ring pick and remove the material on the lands. To tell if it is steel or lead?

Daddio is right. I have never fired a single round through this gun.
When it came back from repair the first inch of the barrel was heavily leaded. I cleaned out the lead and that's what I saw.
I'm pretty positive that's not lead on the lands, as Ive had a bit of experience cleaning leaded bores.
It looks like they cut the rifling then cut the forcing cone and it pushed all that extra metal out of the way but didn't remove it.
Insanity.
I'm gonna call them when I get back from this camping trip. I headed to the hills for the weekend so I don't go crazy on anybody because of this gun haha.
