Holt's can not sell any gun out of proof unless the barrels are cut for sleeving. This gun is listed for sale as still being in proof at .006" and I do not doubt it is. They make very clear that the barrels are .006" to their credit. A soda can is .006" thick. Just think how lively that gun will be to shoot. Talk about taking your hand into harms way. You should be able to flex or dent your barrel in your hand. I do not care where .006" is it is way too thin for me. Proof does not mean safe. It means within limits of .008-.010 of metal thickness from the last passed proof event. And where could you put pits in a set of barrels .006 & .017" thick? I wont be bidding on this lot. Read and understand all descriptions before you bid is sound advise.
