Lewis Gun - Hairline crack in rear of barrel jacket


Recommended Posts

Robert, thanks for the reply... funny as I was going to email you about this later today.

 

The only crack is as you notes between the two holes. Is it possibly from over tightening or too loose of a muzzle cone? I did notice that the muzzle cone had loosened slightly last time I fired the gun although the barrel was still super tight in the aluminum radiator. I definitely want to know what possibly caused it so I can make sure it doesn’t get worse. The gun runs great and is in overall really nice shape.

 

The crack tight right now so I wonder if it is something I should just keep an eye on for now and only have you fix if it gets worse.

 

Thanks so much for the help.

 

Also, the gun is not a dewat. It is one of the Irish guns.
