I asked the question of Wards regarding this gun because the photo shows what looks like a crack right above the forend of the right barrel. This was Eric Ward's response: " The barrel does have fracture, no dents or bulges ". This was two days ago and their description of the gun hasn't changed to include this observation. The current bid amount however keeps increasing.

That is a shame. It looks like a great gun otherwise.
So they will disclose it only if asked about it? How do these places get away with this crap. I guess that is just the way it is. Always have your guard up.

What is funny is I JUST got done looking at that gun about two minutes ago, with no intention to buy it for the simple reason I don't have any desire to. Great info to pass along Jay.

And I'm just going to throw this out there, don't flame me. But what if you got it for CHEAP and you put Briley tubes in it, is that a solution to at least make it safe as a 12 ga shooter??

Yes, that is an option. A heavy option for a 12 bore, but an option. Then find another 10g bbl set for that frame and you have a two-fer. Better than having a nice gun never shot again or used for parts.

Jay, a PGCA search for that serial number will still not identify that gun. You put a period after the 3644 in your post.

I saved your image Jay. The crack looks to be the 'zipper weld' between rods ie down the middle of the scrolls and not the straight ribband edge weld. There also appears to be a perpendicular defect of some sort.
Any attempt at repair that close to the breech would be risky. Do you recall the wall thickness at the fracture?
