Heard from METL yesterday pm. The plan was to saw out the medial section of the barrel



BUT the machinist and metallurgist were concerned that the heat from the saw might distort the morphology of the fracture edge
I've asked them to not destroy the left barrel, which still might have some value as a replacement for another gun. The lifted rib could probably be harvested also.

Once again, it would be SO much easier with the missing chunk. I suspect tick & snake season has begun in N. Carolina and digging through the brush at Deep River would not be much fun.

METL will see what they can do, but it's obviously not worth the effort and (my) $s if a proper SEM can't be obtained.
