Thank you Joe!
Will ask if metal fatigue starts with visible (microscopic) changes.

If you have the hulls previously fired before the event Do they all have intact base wads? Mike

All the hulls are one piece, and intact; no missing plastic inside or out.

Bro David: quit messing around with reloads and get those pics of your 0 grade to me; right, top, left and the "Smith Farm Implement" article is done!

Drew, I will. I talked to Jim and he said you were doing this one, so I will get them to you very soon.
Thanks again for the great work that FINALLY had to come out. I know the outcome will be beneficial to all.
I just read ninepointer's post and makes for another interesting story and hopefully does not apply to small bore guns for those of us that like to shoot these old guns.

Drew: Is there ANY chance at all that this was a 20/12 accident?

Not according to the shooter, and you were the 2nd place winner of earliest correct diagnosis

Only a quick question, and not making a judgement. What are the characteristics of a ring bulge. Is there any thought as to why the interior of the barrel that's opposite the blow out does not seem to be pressure affected (on appearance).
The orange peel look of the plastic type deformation of the affected area seems clear. Even if not deformed to the same extent, I'd guess the normal appearing part of the barrel was subject to the same pressure that started bulge prior to it letting go.
There's also a good sized looking pit in the deformed area and signs that some machining may have been done for maybe typical reasons that cleaning up may be done. I'm only curious, and would agree that an obstruction might easily have happened.

Craig: It is hard to tell from small images, but the 'pit' is a crack, and the 'machine marks' are the crolle pattern
