bowsniper Report post Posted November 1, 2008 I'm trying to give someone an accurate appraisal of an FN-FAL barrel that I'm trying to sell over the internet. The guy wants me to describe any throat erosion. So my dumb question: Where does throat erosion occur? Is it right where the lands meet the chamber? What does a little throat erosion look like compared to a lot of erosion? Thanks for your help. Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schmitty Report post Posted November 1, 2008 Unless you look at it through a borescope, you'll never know. You'd have to take the rifle to a gunsmith with a borescope who knows what he's looking at in order to get a fair evaluation. I'd just tell the guy how many rounds are down the tube and how you've shot the rifle; rapidfire, etc. Chances are if it's a military type rifle it's got a chrome lined bore and there won't be much for throat erosion, unless you've put 10K rounds down the tube at full auto. Hope this helps, Schmitty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
