It is just a remark. I work with people who understand these matters and they say this is actually the formation after the surface inside the barrel has been damaged and then the rust expands and deepens.

pitting

"Раковина" is a defect that detracts from the value of a gun and, if serious, may even make the gun dangerous to fire.
Peer comment(s):
