Subject shotgun is now in my possession. From sellers description and phone conversation, I was expecting B-U-L-G-E-S. Man was I glad to see what I would call pimples.
Seller was off on measurements. 1st - 13 1/2 from breech; 2nd - 15.25; 3rd - 18.5.
Measurement taken with my crude caliper:
Elongation - 1st - .159 ; 2nd - .185 ; 3rd - .195
Rise : 1st - .003 ; 2nd - .004 ; 3rd - .006
Location as if the bbl were on the receiver looking down the left tube: 1st - 7 o'clock ; 2nd - 7 o'clock ; 3rd - 5 o'clock.
These are not ring bulges, just pimples. Hopefully the ribs won't have to be stripped and relaid, but if they do, they do.
Anyone think the bbls are fixable?
If so, looking for smith recommendations.
