Ah, hard to tell from that vid. Personally, I find a scope that accommodates side looking mirrors to be far more informative as you can get a good view of what’s going on in a section you are interested in (typically from throat to 4-5” where most damage will occur).

What I can tell is it would appear you have a good bit of copper on there and maybe about half way down the barrel it looked like some of that copper was overlaid with carbon.

Clean it well. I suggest Bore Tech Eliminator as it works well on both copper and carbon fouling but there are many good products out there.
 
White lines look like cotton strands from patches. The white/silver lines along the lands/grooves could be light reflection or cotton the edge.

I’ve seen comments about cotton strands in other threads (no pun intended).

Patch out works good too!!

Clean it, put on a side mirror, focus it (w Teslong you screw the mirror in/out a bit for focus), then take still pics....particularly from the just before the throat toward the muzzle. This is where you would see a carbon ring, fire cracking, and other damage from use.

But, with 120 rounds on it, it may well not even be fully broken in and up to speed.

Who is the barrel manf?
