1881 Scott Dimple:
This 1/16” dimple is 7-3/4” from the muzzle on 30-5/8” barrels. The wall thickness at the muzzle is .068. The depth isn’t much, can’t really measure. It is visible in the bore. Based on the photos, is this something to be concerned with? I would like to avoid having to refurb the barrels because I like them in their current original condition.
Personally, I think it’s of little consequence, more cosmetic than worrisome. Suggestions and thoughts from the collective are appreciated.
