CZ: I did see the section pictures that Dr. Drew provided. Clearly, the issues with concentricity would be a real problem for anyone trying to work on those barrels. I guess I'm hoping they are representative of lesser-quality guns from a foreign manufacturer who didn't have to bear much responsibility for quality issues. American makers, Ithaca included, didn't have that luxury. At the turn of the last century, reputation was critical as almost all marketing was word-of-mouth. If my measurements of this gun indicate such an issue exists, I simply will not proceed.
