The barrels I examined looked like the dents I used to see when I was a kid shooting tin cans. If you ever shot a tin can and then looked inside you know what that looks like. The little pimples looked exactly like that except were a little smaller. Dents were along the bottom of the left barrels and ranged over about a 12 " length. from about 1/2" to 2" apart. Some were more shallow than others. I had originally thought it might have been droplet's of water that had frozen in the barrel prior to firing. I spoke with the gunsmith after he spoke to Kirk, he told me that Kirk described to him exactly what the barrels looked like as if he had a picture in front of him. He told the Smith that he has seen this a number of times in his career. I would also have doubts, but I examined the barrels myself. I bet if you would have rolled a number 2 or 4 shot down the barrel and they would have laid in the small pimple area.
