I do have a bore scope. You are correct, there is significant fire cracking in the throat. The lands keep moving and I'm seeing a lot more jump than when new. If I try for 0.020" jump, the projectiles are barely hanging on and the COAL is too long to fit in the mag. I have to hand feed them. Still, the rifle is amazing for the money.
I did not think about a set back and rechamber. I'll ask my gunsmith. I bought a new carbon fiber Proof barrel for it, but haven't installed it yet. Waiting on an action wrench.
Thanks Jeff!
