I'm trying to remember the rated strength of Winchester's Nickel Steel, wasn't it something incredible...like 110K psi or something near that (w/their Proof Steel at 130k)? If you have a barrel obstruction, it clearly doesn't matter what your tubes are made from, good damascus or fluid steel. That far down the tube from the muzzle makes it seem to me to be a wad, as Mr. Fox has surmised. The stamping of "Mod.1912" makes it a really early gun. They stopped that when...like in the early 1920s?
