Many English guns with less than .020" MWT pass proof both with fluid steel and damascus barrels. A great number of English guns did not even have .030" MWT when they first left the factory but all had to pass proof. I have a Greener with Siemens fluid steel barrels with .020" MWT and they passed re-proof. Would they stand a dent removal? Probably not, which is why the recommended .025" MWT for better durability and longevity.
