i got my redfield 102 rear sight on, thank you Mr. Graff!!!!! i also cleaned the rifle, including the bore. whoever had it before was a Clean Freak. using shooter's choice mc-7, i let the bore soak overnite. the next morning, i did a nylon brush thru the bore. then i patched the bore and it came out clean as whistle. now being a cynic, i swabbed some sweets into the bore and i let wait for about 1/2 hour. i nylon brushed and swabbed it out and found nuthin. i went from cynical to suspicious. so i did a round of gunslicks foaming bore cleaner. i waited about a hour and did the brush/patches and found nothing!!! then i remembered the chrome lining , i g96 gun treatment oiled the bore and the rifle sans stock.
i looked up the bore(with a flashlight) and i'd guess that the rifling is about 50% good. there was no pitting in the bore, i "guess" that chrome lining was involved. i have some cerrosafe......somewhere, but i just can't find it. i'll do a lead slug and report it to you guys. i also need to buy a front sight insert alongside other rifle parts(91 argie, 1898 krag, 93 and 95 mauser parts and pieces).
