Pics are from the breech end through the side. There is a a fair sided chip in the leading edge of the barrel, just to the left of the loading ramp. There is a crack (cant see in pic) extending from the point of the chip to the left about 3/16" long. Have only shot about 150 rnds through this new rifle. Pics are upside down for some reason.Attachment 246727Attachment 246728
