DWM commercial for review

Interesting how the barrel flange is mashed in about the same spots. And I'm wondering if the rust we see under the barrel isn't a result of welding on that lug.
At this point I'm assuming that these irregularities are a result of the deactivation hatchet job.

Yes, it looks like the barrel flange flats took the brunt of being clamped in a vise twice. I'm sure they used a special wrench, so as not to damage the barrel extension! What, exactly, was done to deactivate it?
