Hi there. Ive just recieved via rfd transfer a new gun.
I say new......
If I send a couple of videos to someone who knows what they are looking at. I would just like to ascertain has it been shot before. Is it a new barrel ????
I know bore scope results unless you know what you are looking at can be scary 🤣.
However my only question is. Is the barrel new.
Ive got a video very boost i might add as im recording the bore scope screen.

It can’t be un-shot as it needs to be proofed, other than that, can’t help
 
Unless the barrel is lapped brand new guns can sometimes be rough looking . The throat of a CF rifle should not show any cracking signs though and no pitting anyplace once cleaned
You obviously have some doubts , if so just return it
 
No barrel is "new" in that it will have been shot at least the once for proof testing in the factory where it was made and, possibly if that factory was in a non-CIP nation shot again for CIP proof in the UK, Germany or wherever it first entered one of the countries that follow CIP regulations.

But new would, to me, mean certainly no more than twenty rounds fired in the thing at most. However that's not to say that if a high end make that the bore hasn't been lead lapped or otherwise finished.

How would I tell? Maybe look to see if bluing has worn on those areas where there is metal to metal contact. Although again a rifle may still be "new" yet have been picked up and the bolt worked back and forth a good few times in the shop by potential customers.

I hope it helps. Indeed it is necessary for a rifle to be shot to correctly set the bolt lugs up against the recess in the barrel or receiver that they lock into. It's the other purpose of that first to be fired factory proof round.
