And would any decent gunsmith tell someone, 'nice gun. Looks good to me.' Sorry, trick question. Let's see what others chime in with. I agree with you on the weld (and how did it crack there? That's another question I am not sure about.) My first reaction was that the marks around the bushing may be someone who overloaded a round, substantially, and this is a rim mark. But that makes no sense to me in retrospect as I doubt if the rim would have been that large and would not blow back symmetrically. However, I don't claim that much expertise, if at all, on forensic gunsmithing, so I will wait to see what other answers come up. But I wouldn't be real quick to go to the wallet for this one. Dave
