The Octagon measures about .640" across flats at he Muzzle end and about .770" across flats at he Breech end.
The Bore and Rifling look clean and free of Pits or 'shadow zones'. the Rifling appears to be narrow at the Bore diameter and wide at the Groove diameter. The Muzzle has a medium 45 degree champfer crown to the bore, several times the depth of the rifling.
I hope it will slug good dimensions for Bore and Groove diameters.
I have a 1915 Stevens action that I plan to use it with if all dimensions are good.
Center Fire conversion Breech Block is planned for this Action and Barrel combination.
