My old Parker hammer gun (ca. 1886 w/ twist barrels) has what looks like faint "rings" or "crescents" visible in the bore. My barrels do have some pitting, but nothing bad at all.
My worry is this: are these crescents just pitting/corrosion at the boundaries between the twisted iron/steel, or could they be cracks ?
Obviously, that's a rhetorical question. What I should have asked is this: Have those of you with twist barrels ever noticed the same thing ?
