I would think Keith that this gun being 7500 bucks would be enough for a lot of questions it is also refinished, was any barrel honing involved? We're the chambers pitted what is the wall thickness would be a valid question since it is refinished
Mark, if you or the Nutty Professor actually had any interest whatsoever in buying this gun, I wouldn't say a damn thing about your questions. But it has become apparent that some here are merely Trolling and doing all they can to disrupt pretty much all of Ed's gun sales here... and also subsequently prevent Dave Weber from getting his $12.00 fee for a sale.
We just very recently went though this same disingenuous horse shit where the Nutty Professor essentially admitted he would never buy a gun from Ed. And Ed explained why he would never answer questions from an obvious Troll who was lying about being interested. Here Mark, go back and read it again:
https://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=631379&page=5Now then Mark, will we be seeing you confront the Nutty Professor about pretending to be an interested buyer, and then stupidly letting the truth out only a couple days later?
The Free Advertising Gunsmith, who is now also advertising African Hunts in his/her tagline, also sometimes sells some rather expensive guns here that have also obviously been refinished. But strangely, we don't see the same Trolls repeatedly attempting to disrupt his/her sales. Nor questioning him/her about pitted chambers, wall thickness, honing, or a lack of integrity. (That's barrel integrity... not the lack of integrity involved in advertising in ones' tagline and not paying Dave $12.00 for each of the resulting sales... and even bragging about screwing him)
If Ed did those exact same things... or jOe... or someone else you all didn't like, then you all would be howling and crying about them breaking the rules. It's insulting that any of the Trolls think we can't see the hypocrisy. So please stop trying to bullshit me.
lengthening the chambers of our vintage doubles could actually increase the barrel wall thickness?
Am I misunderstanding something here? Isn't barrel wall thickness simply stated "the barrel thickness" or "the measure from the inside wall of the tube to the outside wall of the tube? How can steel be added to a barrel? Isn't it kind of like a hair cut? You can cut hair away but the barber can't put it back on once its cut away?
Yes FireFly, you are correct. But a few years ago, the Preacher actually argued with me and Miller, a sadly deceased member who was also a Machinist, that lengthening the chambers of our vintage doubles could actually INCREASE the wall thickness at the end of the recut chambers. The argument went on for several days, and Miller, the machinist, even posted mechanical drawings to illustrate why that was impossible. It took a while, but I think logic and reason finally prevailed. It did serve to show that you should not just blindly accept everything you read on the internet, even if the person posting it acts like an expert.
