That seems to sum it up pretty well. I pulled it out again last night about midnight when I got home from work (I don't recommend doing this if you're married. It seems wives don't understand the need to do it.) The rifling is where primarily all the problems are at. Looking at it from both ends of the barrel it looks like the rifling is gouged and pitted the entire length.
When I was cleaning it it didn't feel like there were really any tight spots, but there was also a lot of patch fibers and junk that got hung up on the rifling.
This is my first TC. If this is how they're made am I just being too picky? Do I get over it and figure it will hopefully get better in time? I don't want to complain and be a pain for Dicks or TC if I'm not justified in doing so.
