Just scrubbed the bore of the trapdoor with a bronze 20 gauge brush. Then I slugged the bore of my Trapdoor, and a .458 was tight, and rifling crisp. I really had to whack it hard, even with a lubed bullet and oily bore, to get it going. It is three groove, though so I can't figure out the bore! It looks like the grooves just barely touch the bullet, though the lands are pronounced enough. Should shoot well enough for me, though I may go to a .460/500 after I shoot these. Are they all three groove, by the way?
The further update is I broke it down completely, They only evidence of rust and pitting was the bottom of the barrel, under the wood like. I expected that. I was amazed that even the buttplate had nor rust underneath, and the lock work still had original blue finish inside. NO rust to be seen anywhere on the "innards". All screws turned freely and weren't buggered up at all.
I took the stock and gave it two light coats of boiled Linseed oil outside and every nook and cranny inside , and let it dry in the sun (which made its first appearance in many months! LOL. All parts liberally oiled in Ballistol while apart. This will be a nice piece to pass on to the grandkids, along with my original Inland M1 Carbine, S&W 38 Spcl. Victory Model, and AC44 Walther P38.
