Not that I have re-blued a ton of Fox barrels, but each one I have done has had small voids in the solder joints in a couple places. Minor voids like this will not sound any different when ringing than ones with no voids.

I would not have any concern either. The voids were there when the gun was made and did not change in 100 years.

I'm not gonna poke fun at Brian anymore for his 'auto-correct' problems because I'm having the same problems with my new iPhone.

I like that emoji. I do feel like doing that with my phone often.

Vent ribs, in my experience, do not normally ring as nicely as barrels with solid ribs.
