The barrel has a hole and crack in side towards the rib, literally in the space between the two barrels, you wouldn’t know there is a problem without looking down the barrel. No bulge, no obstruction. I’ve only had the gun 6 weeks and had it out 3 times, never had an obstruction, never had an off sounding shell and I always look down the barrels before inserting shell. My gunsmith has looked at it twice and he doesn’t think it was an obstruction, he said if it was an obstruction it would have blown out the weaker side of the tube, the opposite side. He really thinks it’s a probable a flaw in the metal that finally gave out after 97 years.
