Remington 700 barrel bulge

[Get Off My Lawn]

I was asked if this was OEM or an issue, a friend is looking into purchasing it. Looks like a barrel obstruction to me.
I don’t know much about them so I’m asking y’all. He hasn’t cleaned and looked down the bore yet.



The last 2 digits are scratched out.

That's not like any barrel I've ever seen before.

 

[Climberman]

Yeah, I don’t like it

I'd agree that there was some sort of barrel obstruction that caused the bulge. Since it's near the muzzle, you should be able to correct it by shortening the barrel and re-crowning. Of course, that assumes that there's nothing else wrong with the rifle. Buyer beware.

It's just uncircumcised.

I haven’t seen it, and chose not to comment on his artwork.

Jug Choke, improves close range patterns....

Sphincter muzzle. Makes boolits shoot faster from built up pressure when using Mexican match ammo
