Canucks were a favorite of my Dad's and mine as a kid. Imperials were saved for high flying migratory birds. The family VH saw both those shotshells, but my Dad decided for a while to save money with reloads. He had a few leakers and imprecise powder. I'm guessing that is what caused some barrel bulges. Kicking around in the car trunk with other tools saw it get some dents as well. Unfortunately, I blew one of the barrels in 2003. I thought it was likely the bulges and dents (which I had removed) but the collective wisdom on this forum weighs in favor that I had some sort of barrel obstruction on that fateful day. Trying to find a barrel set put me on this forum. No luck on that, just got bit by the Parker bug and have a few new shooters in the safes. I still chase upland birds but no more migratory or big game.
Cheers,
Jack
