I just bought this gun today brand new today from a reputable chain store.
After initial strip and clean I looked at the barrel it looks like it’s had hundreds of rounds through it. Lol. Is this normal. ?

I cleaned more with some gun solvent. It looks a bit a bit better now. But the shiny feed ramp and rings around the circumference of the barrel took me back a bit.
Not sure if it’s factory fired, there’s no spent shell/ envelope in the box like the old days.

It cleaned up good. And it shoots good. I was just taken back by the barrel ring marks, ain’t seen those on a new gun before, more so that it wasn’t a display model. The display mode was the one with safety which I didn’t buy.
