Crack in VH barrel?
I have seen radial cracks in Damascus barrels, but I was just looking at a barrel that came from a VH that appears to have a crack about 1/2" long (looks pretty straight) running lengthwise about 4" below the choke. It looks like there was a dent raised from the area. Have any of you seen this sort of thing before? The barrel holds air pressure, but I haven't tried plugging it and filling it with gasoline to see if it actually leaks. I can sort of see it inside, but I'm not sure if I'm seeing a crack, or just remnants of the old dent.
If it is cracked can these be repaired? Or, is this yet another set of Parker barrels doomed to be cut?
If it can be repaired who can I send them to?
Thanks!! All thoughts and ideas welcome.
