Visually judging the depth of pitting in a barrel is very difficult. What look like craters can sometimes be polished out with a bit of emery cloth and a cleaning rod.
I think by answering a couple simple questions we could affirm or dispel some of the statements made concerning pitted barrels.
1. Has anyone presented evidence of a barrel burst where the proximate cause was pitting?
2. Has anyone presented evidence of a barrel burst where the proximate cause was honing of the barrels?
