Hello again, Friends,
I have not had a lot of time to devote to this clean up in recent days, but I do have some additional photos for you now. In my view, these barrels will NEVER be shot again. Not while I'm around, anyway. But I think if the bad barrel is hung next to the wall, it'll be a handsome display gun.
The flaw in the left barrel, which I originally thought was a hammered-out dent, now looks much more like a weld repair to me. And an ugly one, at that. Note the nick in the top rib. That's why I thought it was a dent. But this flaw spirals around the barrel to the bottom rib, and I assume it is following the line of a weld failure and attempted repair. Pretty sad, but there we have it.
