[QUOTE="Buano, post: 2528033, member: 21641"] From a metalurgical point of view, it looks like there was a flaw in the steel before the barrel was made. My first degree in manufacturing engineering tells me that is not uncommon. If that flaw was near the chamber I would question the safety of the barrel, as it APPEARS the steel is not uniform, which may mean it is brittle or otherwise weaker than it should be. There are only two questions that really mater: will it affect the barrel's performance and will you be satisfied having a barrel that has a flaw that may not affect function. If it was mine, and it was something a manufacturer might replace, I would want it replaced — but I'm a perfectionist. [/QUOTE]
