[QUOTE="Darryle, post: 2794425, member: 109917"] Epoxy resin and some chopped fiberglass will fix the visual issues, a little black RIT dye will further disguise it. I doubt very seriously that barrel is compromised, but you can have a gunsmith look at it. Some rubbing alcohol can be used to see how deep or if there are any deep delaminations, put the alcohol on the crack, paper towel the excess and see how long it takes the remainder to "flash off". The shorter the time, the shallower the damage, the longer, the deeper the damage and worthy of a visit to the gunsmith or back to Proof for inspection. [/QUOTE]
