I have/HAD!! a really nice graded Baker 12, with gorgeous damascus barrels. I was pulling a couple of guns out to wipe down this evening, and when I peered down the barrel, I discovered a perfectly straight crack, running the entire length of the left barrel from the forcing cone to the bore!! It lines up perfectly with the bottom rib. Wanted to cry!, hoped maybe it was a “left behind” from a swabbing, so I ran a bore snake a dozen times thru it,,,,,just made the damn crack seem cleaner and straighter!! First time I have ever seen a failure like this. I have never put more than RST lites 1 oz thru it!,
On the lookout for donor barrels. Martini time
