I agree with you, Miller. I looked it over pretty closely Saturday, and I believe there is gracious plenty wall thickness, but haven't actually measured it. The breeches of these barrels are massive in thickness. They look as thick or thicker than my HE Fox. Looking closely at the step-down "cone" it looked to me as if the step itself was no more than the thickness of a brass hull. Certainly no more than a paper one. You could barely feel the step with a metal screwdriver, but it was easy to see it looking through the breeches.

If I ride back over to look closer I will take my bore gauge and actually measure that.

Thanks, SRH
