The arcaded fences 'sorta point toward Woodward....not known as a builder of lightweights, usually.

All you guys bragging about guns with .020 (or less) wall thickness passing proof in England, and being enjoyed, be my guests.

Dare you to try the same thing in France. The guns there are usually quite a bit lighter, except in the barrels. If you are going to have proof, why not proof it to the max?
Best,
