[QUOTE="epoletna, post: 2593574, member: 87371"] I don't think putting a mic on the outside of the barrel is really telling you what has happened inside. That's why I agree with the suggestion to cerosafe the chamber. I have an inexpensive alternative to cerosafe, especially now that you have the barrel off. Put a good coat of oil in the chamber and barrel, then plug the barrel about 1/4" below the chamber. Then mix about 3/4 garden sulfur with 1/4 graphite (the kind you get from a hardware store, used to squirt into a lock). Melt the mixture (smelly, but melts well below any dangerous temperature) and pour it into the chamber. When it has cooled, tap it out with a cleaning rod from the muzzle. It will be a very accurate cast of the chamber, which you can then mic to see if it has changed dimensions. [/QUOTE]
