This is a question for you barrel/pressure experts. I recently discovered that my favorite NID skeet gun has had a modification that raises a serious safety issue. The right ejector guide pin evidently broke off at some point leaving a piece of it in the hole. A repair was made by adding a new pin in a different location requiring a new hole be drilled in the base of the barrel. The hole in the photo lower left is the original, the ho;e in the upper right is the 'new hole.' Notice how close it is the the edge of the chamber. All this came to light recently when I had Gunter dust up the lazy right ejector. The original guide hole had been filled with solder or something and was not viable before Gunter. I have shot this gun a lot but am now concerned as Gunter cautioned that it could blow and showed me a photo of one that did blow and the failure started at the guide pin hole. I do value body parts and am looking for a "fix" if there is one. Any suggestions?
I don't want to end up with this!
