My radiograph wasn't as "nice" as that one (it appeared to be darker, overall). In some areas (my radiograph), it did look like you could see the twist pattern, so I can see where the "mass of welds" crowd may have formed that opinion. What still stuns me is that you can PLAINLY see my "defect" with your eyes when you look down the barrel. (Plus, you can get a dental pick to "grab" the defect, too.) With all of that "low tech" evidence, if it still only shows up (on an X-ray) as a faint line that only the most acute & trained eyes can see, I have little faith in it being able to catch cracks that aren't so obvious. But obviously, it's the best method available, short of a destructive test...
Don't mind me - I'm just bummed out that the only gun that ever fit me perfectly has a cracked barrel.
Thanks - take care !
