So I was excited when I scored a HRA from the cmp with a 1955 LMR barrel... you know they are supposed to be special.
Any way numbers where good 2 and 2 for wear. Crown was a bit rough had some corrosion. I cleaned the barrel completely went through the rifle tweeked everything I know and off to the range.
With HXP I was lucky to get 6 moa spent a good time trying to tweek some decent groups even reloads didn't help much. I did a recrown and I gained a little down to 4-5 moa with reloads. not bad but not as good as most of my rifles and a let down for the "LMR" barrel. Well I put about 300 rounds through it before I pulled the barrel and built my mac1 special
heres the bore after the 300 shots.. Its not the worst bore and actually I have worse bore rifles that shoot better than this one did
