An early morning (at least here in the desert smile ) rant

There is a very disturbing trend among dealers and auction sites (look through Julia's listings for this month) to post meaningless MWT numbers. WHERE is that MWT and how about the chamber, forcing cones, and the critical section from breech to 9"??
Measuring WT properly is hard, and takes the equipment, time (which is money), experience, and INTEREST to be done right. I've found some unexpected and frightening numbers, and those of us with an interest in vintage guns really have no excuse today for not measuring, or finding someone to measure for us, wall thickness on guns we intend to use.
