did the same thing myself about 60 years ago. was huntin in a swamp along the Altamaha river in south east Georgia. had my trusty stevens model 94 .410 in hand. stuck the muzzle of the 410 in the mud and figured no big deal and I would just shoot the mud out...well that did work, but hit also pealed back about four inches of the barrel, sorta like a banana...my dad sawed off the damaged part of the barrel and then I had a dandy little cylinder bore quail gun...wonder where that little gun is now?
