Got one similiar to that when I bought 4 from centerfire about 2 years back. It came with a chunk about 5" long blown nearly through the shroud and split
the remainder of the barrel to the tip. Removed the rest of the barrel from the receiver and salvaged the parts for the other 3. Kept the blown part as a
conversation piece and to remind me to always string fire these old babies 1st. I am using the barrel halves as literal tomato stakes.
