Unless somebody has been shooting steel BBs through the barrel its
likely (sans lead fouling) as good as it was when it was new. Lead
pellets are typically dead soft lead. They are not hardcast like pistol
projectiles.
Older models had a magnetic tipped probe kinda needed for holding BB's
in place. They changed this at some point and the new probe was no
longer magnetic and no mention of shooting BB's in the literature
anymore...
This one has the magnet in the bolt . Can't really see down the barrel well enough to tell the condition of the rifling . I just pushed a pellet (miked .1755") down the bore from the muzzle , pushed easily and didn't engrave the head or skirt of the pellet at all . Is there enough air pressure on the pellet to expand the skirt into the rifling ?
