Barrel Question

[kirkl]

I have an older T/C Pennsylvania hunter. I hunted with it probably 10 years ago and people have talking about the barrels pitting over time or if it wasnt cleaned good. I tried looking down the barrel and the top 2 inches looks great. is there a way to see what it looks like farther down.  Does the pitting take away accuracy? i have the multi season deer tag and dont really want to buy a new one. Should i just clean it and shoot it and see how it does?

Thanks

you could find or borrow a bore scope. if you have any auto mechanic or gunsmith buddies they might have one.

Thanks, maybe ill just take it to someone to get it looked at. I actually have a neighbor across the street who does that stuff but were not on good terms so hes not getting my business.

Have you cleaned it recently?  If not, I'd clean it good and run a brush, then see what it feels like with a tightly patched jag.  If it feels pretty smooth it's probably fine.  Let us know how it shoots.
