While perusing a gun auction this bright and glorious morning (ya, right!) I was stumped to know what would cause the “defect” that a seller pointed out in a S&W revolver he had on the block. He didn’t seem to know either or at least didn’t explain why it was there. I take for granted the gent cleaned the bore aggressively to rid it of the defect before having to honestly post it in his description. Any takers as to the cause of said defect?

Seller's Description:
NO RESERVE!! Here's a Smith & Wesson K22 Target Masterpiece that was made back in 1952. Original blue finish rates about 92-93% with normal wear plus a couple of dings. Good mechanical condition with excellent timing and lock-up. There is a slight ring midway in the otherwise excellent bore (it cannot be detected on the exterior of the barrel). This revolver still shoots very accurately, guaranteed! Wears a set of later production, non-diamond S&W grips. Buyer pays $20.00 shipping...use the Buy-It-Now and get free shipping. A C&R License is acceptable for transfer.
