There might be pitting in the bore (typically due to insufficient cleaning after using corrosive ammo), or it could be because a coating such as Amelon MicroSlick was applied to it. The first scenario is a much more common occurrence.

What side is the bore on a gun?

The bore refers to the hole in the gun barrel thru which the projectile (bullet) passes. Some guns have a smooth bore, but many modern guns, both pistols and especially rifles, have a rifled bore, that is, the bore has a helical (spiral) groove that causes the projectile to spin as it flies thru the air. The diameter of the gun's bore determines the size of the bullet or shell (e.g. .22, .45, 9mm, etc.)
