Black top road appearance, cracking of the steel ahead of the chamber.
Just shot a lot, don't think salt has anything to do with it.
Time for a new one.
Seems I read somewhere that Hart may have made some of the early 40-X barrels for Remington...
The 40-XB I had (.244). had a very nice barrel, looked more like Hart than Remington thru the Hawkeye. That, of course, doesn't prove a thing.
Does anyone know about that?
