Did the Dros today on my M1 from the CMP. Very pleased with the looks of it. I did not give it a long detailed examination but the wood looks good some dings but no apparent cracks. Metal looked good on my quick inspection.

Brought my CMP M1 home and got a good look down the barrel. What a mess, Looks like a new barrel will be needed. Took a 1943 head stamped round and checked the opening. It slid in right up to the brass.

My CMP M1 had a really bad looking barrel. I can hit man sized target at 300 yds. The barrel cleaned up fair. Not bright and shiny, nor a match rifle, but it shoots pretty good.

Maybe I should mine first and see what it does. I am fully prepared to order a new barrel from the CMP. I can see the rifling ok but in the grooves its very dark and pitted.
What did you do to clean yours up. So far all i have done is run a couple of patches down it.

Nothing special. I tried bore paste but it didn't seem to have any effect. I used Hoppes #9 and a bore brush. Swab, brush, swab, brush times a lot in a couple sessions. After shooting I would swab, brush a lot. Of course I haven't seen yours to compare.

Shoot a bunch of jacketed through it and clean it while it's hot. Sometimes that helps.
