Mr. McCloy. When you examined the rifle the first time, you said that it showed signs of some corrosion and wear?
Mr. Frazier. Yes, sir.
Mr. McCloy. Was it what you would call pitted, were the lands in good shape?
Mr. Frazier. No, sir; the lands and the grooves were worn, the corners were worn, and the interior of the surface was roughened from corrosion or wear.
Mr. McCloy. Was there metal fouling in the barrel?
Mr. Frazier. I did not examine it for that.
Mr. McCloy. Could you say roughly how many rounds you think had been fired since it left the factory, with the condition of the barrel as you found it?
Mr. Frazier. No, sir; I could not, because the number of rounds is not an indication of the condition of the barrel, since if a barrel is allowed to rust, one round will remove that rust and wear the barrel to the same extent as 10 or 15 or 50 rounds just fired through a clean barrel.
Mr. McCloy. Thank you.
Mr. Eisenberg. Could you describe the telescopic sight on the rifle? Magnification, country of origin?
