I recently got a new valtro PM5 and was kind of surprised to see the barrel wasn't all smooth and chromed like other shotguns I've used. I dont want to say it was rough but it was kind of like a matt finish on the inside. I've since shot a few slugs out of it and find cleaning it that there are quite a few little flakes of what I assume is lead coming out and it takes a very very long time to get them all out. The inside of the barrel is a little more "shiney" now but still not perfectly smooth. Is this normal?

Also if I am shooting consistantly high do I want to elevate the rear sight to bring my poi down or lower the sight? I figured lowering the rear sight would cause me to raise the rear of the gun and therefor shoot lower but the guy I was shooting with has won many competitions and told me to raise the rear to shoot lower. My shoulder was a little sore after only like 20 slugs so I couldn't really experiment too much.
 
Rear sights should be moved in the direction you want the point of impact to go. I am surprised to hear the valtro barrel is not well finished. I am looking for one but this may change my choices as I have never seen one. Any one else find this to be the way Valtros are??
 
turns out the barrel is very well finished it just came with some kind of protective coating on it. After using it a few times and cleaning it well after each time its pretty much completely gone now and its a nice mirrored finish on the inside. I love this gun.
