Default Bore sighting mosin nagant

Friend has a mosin 7.62 x 54.Told me he bore sighted the gun w/the .32 cal. barrel dowel.Told me the .308 dowel was loose in the barrel.So I check it and sure enough the .308 dowel has plenty of play.So I insert the .32 cal. dowel in the barrel and it fits snugly.First,two things:
1) the boresighter is a Red Head product made in china,of course.So size/quality control is suspect.[Don't have a micrometer or other measuring tool]
2] the gun is old and barrel probably has considerable wear being WW ll
production. But .32 cal?... [he can't give any insight on groups because the rifle is too painful to shoot and sight in w/its steel butt plate.This is being corrected.
Any thoughts on the above?
