Okay i recently bought a brand new Winchester SX3 28" chambered in 3.5" and i noticed a weird blistering/bubbling hopefully not cracking on one side of the barrel, i am new to the winchester sx3 line of shotguns so i want to make certain nothing is wrong with the barrel...or should i send it out for warranty repairs?

Any info or help will be greatly appreciated.

See Attached for pictures of the problem areas on the barrel.

After upon closer inspection:
This is just flux from the brazing of the barrel lug to the barrel. Possibly a little excess flux, but not a defect.

Hi,
Just inspected mine and it's not painted at all!
No sign of corrosion or bubbling though.
Hope this helps.
