Hey guys,
I have a Browning A5 12 gauge shotgun barrel made in Belgium. Special steel. 2 3/4" shells.
I am wondering if what I found is a bad thing for this barrel.
When I run my hands up and down the barrel, I can feel an area about 1/3rd the way down from the end that feels like there is a bulge in the barrel. It is an ever so slight ring shaped bulge that goes all of the way around the barrel.
Is that a modification done on the inside?
Is it normal?
Does it impact the spread of the shot when shooting the gun?
Is it because of the choke inside?
I am not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated, again.
