UPDATE! Detailed disassembly and cleaning has revealed a virtually unfired bore, nearly no metal to metal wear and original factory arsenal grease. This gun seemingly was manufactured, made ready and never issued. It has been floating around in the system accumulating stock scars and rack wear for 64 years. Almost literally new old stock!

It is worth noting that taking the bolt apart if you don't have to is a needless pain in the ass. I needed to make sure it was clean and lubricated. I don't intend to make this a regular part of cleaning.
