That does it!!! I had offered a 10 gage lifter a while back for sale with no takers, that had a .020 bulge at the left muzzle. I talked to Kirk Merrington and after seeing this I think it's time to bite the bullet and restore it. Dale has done refinishing work for me before and is only 90 miles away. If you can relay and weld a set of these barrels successfully a little bulge is insignificant! Look out Romig, I smell another Parker Pages article! Lee.
