Barrel Damage

Post image

Noticed this chip on the barrel of my shotgun (see picture). Are there any concerns of continuing to use the gun?

Nah, it’s good. I would use a tiny round file to gently buff off that burr, but doesn’t appear big enough to stop a shell from seating.

If it shoots, ejects and extracts, use it...

That bur may hang up the rims of spent shells but if you clean that off it'll be fine.
