Drew: Are you having the barrels radiographed to look for cracks, etc. ? How obvious is a crack in the barrel on these radiograph films ? Reason I ask is this: I had my ca. 1886 hammer gun radiographed, and although they stated there was a "linear defect" - I'd challenge anyone to see it on the film. My dilemma was that my naked eyes saw what looked like a partial circumfrential crack (as if it was following the weld lines in my twist barrel), but the radiograph flim didn't seem to show much at all... How can eyes be more telling than an X-ray ? (I should probably just send the barrels to Brad !)
