Because you are worried about denting/repairing or because you think there’s a potential for a random burst at that thickness?
My first concern with vintage guns is safety. I’m with SKB on this in regards to location of the thin spot of the barrel. If it’s .025 towards the muzzle, no problem. If it’s .025” at the end of the forend where my hand is, no go. More dealers are disclosing the MBT, but they don’t say where on the barrel the thin spot is. That’s what you ask when you call them up. These tolerances are simply my personal policy, YMMV.
