I was given an older wingmaster in 16 ga with a plain barrel...there is a slight dent in the bl midway down...was wondering if the reciever was the same as the 12ga, and if I could put a 12 ga brl on it?....bob

222blr,
A gunsmith can raise the dent, making it shootable again, for much less than a new barrel would cost. Probably $30 or $40. I sure would look into that before I did anything else.
