I used more WD40 and a PB brush on the bore and just scrubbed for about 20 mins. I don't quite know what to expect from a 110 year old gun, the rifling does look a bit worn, but it's still definately there and there's no real pitting visible inside.

There is pitting down the outside of the barrel in a line where it meets the fore-stock, but it isn't that deep, even at the muzzle where the barrels thinnest there's still about 75% meat.

I don't have a FAC any more but I think I'd shoot it with moderate loads. This is as far as I got before boredom set in.
