Yes I'm a novice and I'm trying to acquire as much knowledge as I can! I was curious to see if these numbers could be broken down for me, ie what they mean and how it applies to use.

12ga Damascus steel barrel

Right Barrel
.740
.695 wall for
.045

Left barrel
.736 choke
.695
.041

My guess is that (rt barrel) the bore is .740, the choke is .695 and the barrel thickness is .045 and would be safe to shoot just based on minimum wall thickness (.035 general consensus) given all other variables being addressed. Or am I looking at the numbers wrong?

Thanks guys!
