So I went to look at the Merkel I have and there is no discernible chamfer on the outside edge of the barrels at the muzzle. It is very square and almost what one might call "sharp". There is a small chamfer on the inside of the bore as one would expect where the crown was finished at the factory. Mine is a 9.3 x 74R, but I expect that factory finishes at the muzzle would be much the same irrespective of bore. My other doubles of recent manufacture show similar traits, but the Heyms have a tiny bit more pronounced internal crown chamfer. The external edges of the muzzle display the same squared off trait as the Merkel with no discernible chamfer. Hope this helps......

It does. Thank you.

These marks wouldn't just be evidence that the rifle has been re-regulated at some point?
