John, I would have to agree with Mr. Campbell. Kirk has done me good every time I have gone out there. Good, honest and fair.

I have listen to old barrels ring even with a hole in the side of one. a rib must be loose. you can find the spot by tapping up and down the barrel and finding the dead spot. I would like to see min. thickness no less than .025 thou., if you do feel safe don't shoot them

Thanks to everyone for their responses.
I just don't understand how I can see something that looks VERY MUCH like a crack, but this other person couldn't see it ! Heck, what else could it be ? |

Go to the post about barrel inclusion and see the steps there. Very helpful.

My fears follow those of Drew. It could be a "weld seam" that might be failing. It does follow the "grain" of the twist, and is right where my left hand holds the gun.
My dilemma is that Kirk was the one who did the honing & inspection. When I spoke to him, he truly acted like he couldn't even see what I was talking about. Had he said "I see what you mean, but it's not a crack." then I would feel better. ...but it was as of he didn't even see the "defect." Figures, it's the only gun that really "fits" me... |

Follow Mike Franzen's posts about his barrels. That will help you greatly.

There is an MQS facility in nearly every major metropolitan area. They can do some simple nondestructive testing that will put your mind at rest. In addition to MQS, there are plenty of ASNT certified testing facilities about.
