Many apparent defects in composite barrels are not defects in the body of the barrel. I owned a Diamond Grade Daly that has what looked like a linear defect which followed the pattern of the weld. One serious buyer turned the gun down based on the apparent defect. Long story short, the barrel turned out to be sound and the gun has since sold, not by me, for around $8000 or a bit more. I personally don't know how to test these guns for integrity of barrels, but don't depend on a first look.
