grizzinater, I slugged my barrel couple weeks back and have these measurements front sight @.4575", midbore @ .4555" and rear dovetail @ .4595" - hardly what you can say "seeing" with the naked eye. I had to do mine of course but if yours is shooting on paper quite well at 100yds and have not "fliers" I would say your rifle is fine. I am not sure where the problem lies with Marling maybe in QC, I understand Marlin's process is Button rifling as well as many other fine barrel manufacturers so it must be just that "Quality Control".
