Incidentally, I looked into this same gun for myself at William Larkin Moore. Dan and Dave stated (in writing) the gun had minimum wall thicknesses of .021"/.022" but it measured up on my wall thickness gauge at .018"/.022". So I guess my gauge conveniently lies half the time or WLM was a bit over enthusiastic about their right bore measurements.
It needs a rebrown so I'd imagine the gun will end up finished out at .017" when its done.
It's a truly beautiful gun so I hope something can be done for the old girl. I told the owner to call Teague and beg/plead/cry in the hopes he'd line it for him even though he claims he's done with lining guns. The damascus pattern is externally spectacular so it would be an ideal candidate for lining.
