That's the idea I was getting from some of the responses I was reading. Your pictures show it on the rifling. Is it a new barrel and rifle? Shooting copper jacketed ammo?
Before I shot my rifle, I had completely torn it down and got all the little bits of cosmoline out of everything, so I...
I posted something similar when I shot my M1903 for the first time.
At the end of the barrel was streaks / lines that were orange colored. They weren't there before. The guy I bought the rifle from never shot it and it has an HS barrel from 1944. Probably when it was rebuilt at RA. It...

The bolt has a "C2" stamped under the safety lug. The bolt handle goes straight down. According to charts I've seen it puts the date of the bolt...
