Welcome Eric. There is information here regarding Non-Destructive Testing of Pattern Welded barrels and recommendations for a comprehensive evaluation thereof. I would suggest another opinion with a double gun specialist smith, and if you'll let us know where you are we might be able to recommend someone nearby. https://docs.google.com/a/damascusknowledge.com/document/d/1ZIo0y746UsSRZIgRuuxwAbZjSBHitO_EanvwLYc-kGA/edit I am not aware of any industrial NDT facility with adequate experience in the interpretation of radiography of pattern welded barrels. Also please look through the FAQ section, esp. http://www.lcsmith.org/faq/buying.html
