Call Kirk Merrington, see what he says. Something tells me he'll be on the same page as most of us here.

I'd bet a dollar to donuts he'd say the point of proof bore diameter, wall thickness at that point, wall thickness at the end of the chambers and forcing cones tell you whether you have a gun........ or not. Much more so than folks worrying about barrel thinness 6-8" from the the muzzle end, as is a common measurement as its the thinnest part of the barrel. I doubt seriously an unobstructed, nondented barrel has ever been blown out 6 inches from the end from being 18- 20 thou there.
