What is the point of the go/nogo gauge when you have a wall thickness gauge at your disposal? I have no use for the go/nogo gauges when I have a bore thickness gauge at my disposal. By the way UK proof is of no use to anyone buying a gun outside of the UK.

dam, your go, no go gauge idea makes sense, if dealing with uk made guns only...over here we have guns made all over the world, with many different standards...do you have a standard for minimum wall thickness in front of chambers? ed, why would you persist in the notion (we’ve been over this before) that there exists a magical, minimum, standard bore measurement that would be correct for all guns, old, new, of different gauge, and built in different countries of different qualities of steel? Why do you persist in hounding people, seeking this magic number? This is not the first time you have attempted to wrangle a simple answer to this complex question. The answer is the same as the last time you asked. Best, Ted PS UK proof is of use to anyone buying a gun in signature countries of the proof law, most of Europe. Further, it is of use to people here, in the US, for knowing the bore dimensions of a gun, what the service level of use the gun was designed for, and whether those bore dimensions have changed, since the time of proof.

Agree with Ted 10,000%.
In other words, you just can’t fix stupid.

not looking for magic numbers to cover all situations...
just looking for others to reveal their guidelines...
you know, like in the spirit of sharing data and experiences...
keep it simple and keep it safe...

Same ol' ed. Just looking for someone else to do the work so he can benefit from it, without doing any heavy lifting himself.
At least he's consistent.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

oh well, thanks to those who did share their knowledge and experiences here...
for the benefit of all...

Note to Dave Weber... continuation of previous post that was submitted prematurely...
As I was saying Preacher, Sherman Bell and Buck Hamlin took precautions to shield themselves from danger when firing their Damascus test guns. How can you be certain that a simple barrel guard is enough protection for other shooters in your vicinity? And why would you post wall thickness numbers that are considered minimum by Dudley and others, yet disregard those recommendations yourself? Who should we believe? Inconsistent data like that isn't going to help Ed or anyone else, is it?
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

Does anyone set up and measure barrel wall thickness at the Great Northern SxS shoot in Medford?
