I've just spent 4-6 hours draw filing a 31" swamped barrel. This one looked great as delivered, but as I started draw filing, I noticed that it had "chatter" 4-5" from the breech, from the muzzle, and in the middle. As the file would move across, it would often ring like leaded crystal. Obvioulsy a harmonic, and all the way around the barrel in those 3 locations.
I've draw filed other barrels, swamped, straight, and even octagon-round, and different makes but never had one take this much time.
Is anyone else seeing this trend on swamped barrels?
