Damascus anomaly
Here is a LeFever 10g that was sent to me for refinishing. The barrel flats have an unusual addition. The barrel is twist, but for some reason, pieces of crolle were soldered in to lengthen the barrel flats. Never seen this before.
I suppose that when the barrel was fitted to the action, the barrel flats and action flats did not match up, so extra material was added. Just a guess, and would be interested to hear other theories.
