Just How Dangerous?

I found this while cruising Gunbroker...

A pristine model 16...with the forcing cone drilled into:banghead: Anyway, just how dangerous would this be, really, if 32 long was all it ever saw?

I'm by no means a professional but I think its fine. The cut is very small and not much thinner than the flattened bottom portion of the cone or the cone on a larger bore caliber.

A forcing cone blowout isn't exactly a death defying event. Provided nobody is standing beside the cylinder.

I'd buy it if I loaded 32 caliber

Looks like someone was trying to drill the gun for a scope mount and screwed up.

A new barrel would fix the problem.

Actually, it looks like that was there before it was Blued. I must admit, i can't remember ever seeing that before...

+1. Kind of looks like it's under the forward rear sight screw location to my eyes.

That's what I was thinking. I'm keeping this on my watchlist.

I believe I'd need to look the gun over before bidding on it: what else did Bubba hash up while "improving" that poor gun?
