Nublue 22 Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago I was looking at a shotgun SS, took the barrels if to give them the ring test, well it was just a thud, saying that there was a raised rib,would that make them not ring? Never had this before, thanks M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUNKS Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago (edited) Even good Damascus or wire wound barrels dont ring too well. Could this be the answer. Edited 10 hours ago by DUNKS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOPGUN749 Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago I wouldn’t expect a rib to make any difference,was it an old gun,no pitting? Barrels usually don’t ring when they are pitted or part of the rib is loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago (edited) Dull thud equals problem. Most likely a loose rib. Not a cheap fix. Unless you particularly want that gun I would say walk away. Edited 9 hours ago by London Best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfieldspares Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago It can also be of course loose ejectors. So to be sure remove them then try the ring test again. Although even if sound do you really want a gun with loose ejectors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
