Bore is shiny with crisp rifling and although has dark spots will probably clean up well. Bore of spare bbl is pretty much the same but has some spots of corrosion. Type 24 Chinese Maxims are scarce in the United States. This one with its spares would make a great shooter. 4-37889 JWK36 (10,000-13,000)
