Hi everyone!
This is my first post on this forum. Been visiting a while and learning lots and lots from all the valuable and educational posts in these forums. I just recently picked up a 4013 from a buddy of mine. I took it out to the range yesterday and shot 100 rounds of Winchester 165 and 50 rounds of Federal 180, both from Wally World. No problems whatsoever, and the gun seemed to cycle just fine. Lots of fun
I disassembled firearm to clean today, and I noticed some interesting and alarming wear marks on the frame, where the barrel meets/rests against it. I am fairly new to guns, so my vocabulary isn't up to par, so I highlighted the area in my attached pictures. Any thoughts about this? As you can see, held in right hand, index finger side is the worst, with top corner being gone. Other side isn't as bad, but does show signs of wear as well. Is this a sign of bad things to come? Has anyone else experienced this on their alloy framed Smith? Thanks for any input.
