Scroll down and look at the bulge in the top barrel between the first and second rib post .

I would not shoot it with a bulge that close to the chamber.

I wouldn’t go near that gun, especially with 3-1/2” loads. Aside from the bulge, overall condition is not that good.

Looks like a dent thats caused bulging which often happens.I`d steer well clear of that one,plenty of good ones around !!!!

Thanks. I didn’t think so, and the gun is way overpriced due the defect. I’ve been looking for a well used Citori to dedicate to duck hunting, and the search continues. I think the seller should further disclose the bulge in the description or pull it all together.

IMHO it is an obstructional ring bulge



A 3 1/2" wad that made it to the choke. In light of the deformation of the shell, I suspect the obstructing wad from the previous shell made it out of the barrel and the wad in the choke is from the shell shown
