This is a question I've been thinking about for some time. I am always on the look out for used barrels (mostly 1903 Springfield) to complete some of my project guns. Occasionally I will come onto a barrel that was used on a sporter, but often they have a deep looking dovetail cut for the rear sight. I can put a filler blank into them easy enough but I'm wondering at what point this could become a safety issue? Some of them look pretty deep. Has anybody seen a "blowout" or other issue associated with this? Maybe I'm overly paranoid? Salt Flat
