While degreasing and inspecting this Mosin Nagant, I discoverred this area on the outside of the barrel that at some point was ground down to remove corrosion. I didn't notice it a first because it was covered with some sort of black paint that was easily removed with acetone. It may be hard to see in the second photo, but there is defintely some material missing, and my concern is that it may be unsafe to fire. Otherwise I will just hit it with cold blue. Thanks for the help.
