Repaired Dent

Recommended Posts

I recently bought a second hand AYA no.2 and used it for the 1st time on Saturday. I noticed a very minor irregularity in one barrel about 4" from the muzzle. There is a very small indentation on the outside shown below(roughly inline with dark mark on the table), and a corresponding 'riffle' on the inside (affecting a larger area than the outside). I know it's hard to answer without seeing the gun, but does this sound like a repaired dent?

Either way it is nothing to worry about.

I should say dents are never good but small ones are ok. Best get it checked though to be sure.

What he says. In time supposedly the shot passing up the barrel will wear the internal "riffle" down. So that when repaired that area of the barrel wall will be thinner than its surrounding metal. With steel shot in a plastic wad I would not want to shoot the gun. It's an AYA No2 so the problem is worth the money to fix.
