tinkerfive Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 I have several / many used barrels and have noticed a tendency to find minor pits that appear almost as if a bullet or other object had been sitting in the bore long enough that at the edge of the object corrosion had started. Ahead of or behind the barrel looks perfect. Of course I see more near the breach than near the muzzle but, very often the pitting is concentrated to a very short length of the barrel. I wonder if how a barrel is made from molten steel lays down a pattern for the ring tendency. Is it an extrusion process for many makers or, what is the primary process? I don't really know. Anyone able to say in 1000 words or less the usual process or have any U-tube links? I'm curious. Tinker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
