deeksofdoom Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Recently bought a cheap semi-automatic to do a bit of pigeon shooting, noticed after bringing it home the breech is well pitted, is it safe to shoot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsgobang88 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Hi, Can't give a definitive reply without seeing the barrel but is it pitted in the chamber, lead or bore? Semi auto barrels are usually much thicker than doubles. With pitted chambers extraction can be a problem. Your best bet is get the barrel to a proper gunsmith or barrel maker for an opinion (not a shop assistant or 'enthusiast), Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
