papaloteScope mount hole drilled too deep. barrel ruined?
A young friend called about a problem he had. He was drilling a super 14 30-30 for 6 scope mount holes and drilled through to the rifleing. Would this ruin the barrel or could you just plug it and keep on going. All comments welcome. Thanks Papalote

V.V. JeffIn my profesional opinion, the barrel is now a paper weight. I would highly advise against shooting it.

T/C NutI would send it to OTT and have them make another barrel out of it. If you don't want to do that I'll buy it from you.
