Thank you Rich. Could you please inquire as to what the wall thickness at the end of the chambers, at the forcing cones, and at the point of the bulges measures? That information is quite important to those of us who chose to use Pattern Welded barrels, and have followed this thread with great interest.
Does The Parker Pages have a Mechanical Specification Drawing with the "original specs" for wall thickness by gauge?

steel shot ? |

steel shot ?
Has anyone thought of the possibility of shells loaded (or re-loaded) with STEEL shot? Both barrels, with the same problem, at or about the same time? It's got to be a load/barrel relationship issue. Not an obstruction.

In that case -I believe the ring bulge would be at the chokes. Not the forcing cone

Well.....I guess that settles the question of who the guilty party is once and for all. If I were in his shoes, I wouldn't go around advertising what I had done....or at least I would accept responsibility for it.

Drew has a good request, but there is some stretching when a barrel bulges or ruptures and you have to be careful where you take your measurements.

I'll try to get the measurements requested. Steve is in Montana currently.

Thanks again Rich. Please also confirm the chamber length and bore measurements just proximal to the bulges.
The issue is not to dispute Steve's statement, nor to assign blame, but to reach some conclusion as to the cause of the barrel failure. It is my sincere hope that this will not end as most posts regarding barrel/gun failures, at least on doublegunBBS and trapshooters.com, have ended; with no definitive, or at least learned, explanation. Modern guns sent to the maker for a failure analysis and metallurgical study disappear, and when litigation is involved, details of any settlement are made confidential. Something like this would be definitive To be clear, I have found no Specification Diagram for wall thickness from any turn-of-the-century U.S. maker. That information would be invaluable to those of us measuring wall thickness and providing an opinion regarding originality, and safety.

This got my curiosity up, so I measured a set of 0 frame barrels from a 16ga. DH
I was surprised at that variation. |
