[QUOTE="ofbandg, post: 1785200, member: 91402"] Many years ago I got a great deal on a rifle because it had a bulge at the muzzle from dragging it in the snow and then firing it at a deer. He didn't get the deer. A gunsmith friend put a throat reamer down the muzzle for an inch and a half and got rid of the bulge but I lost some velocity, (it had a front sight I didn't want to lose). It shot well though and I took lots of game with it. Nowadays you can get that last couple of inches made into a muzzle brake but it would really bark on a short barrel. Sounds to me like the best choice is to keep it as it is - unless you are just looking for a change. [/QUOTE]
