Purchased a no inspection double off of one of the Internet auctions. Not hurt too bad on money, but the gamble has turned interesting to say the least.
Barrels had a nasty thud sound, so I started digging around with a feeler gauge and found some space at the muzzle. More digging and I start to remove black silicon, yes the high temperature stuff intended for a car engine. LOL.
More digging and such and well...I've got the entire bottom rib removed. Some idiot reattached the bottom rib, (and not yet sure about the top)?) by filling the gap with black silicone sealant. What will dissolve this stuff without damaging the blue? What a mess, but at least I've got a project.
