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.

Thanks

Welcome to the Winchester Owners Forum Rey !!

I would contact Winchester with my complaint and see if they will offer to ship & fix it on their dime...

Customer Service number at (800) 945-5237 or (801) 876-3440.

Parts and or Service, call (800) 322-4626.

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.

Then you are GTG...
