Question: If you've been shooting your 12 gauge double for years and discover 0.014" wall thickness out near the muzzle, or anywhere else, do you quit shooting it?


I wouldn't shoot a gun knowingly that had MWT of .014" near the chamber. I was told by a barrel man that at the muzzle, a garden hose could be safely used to contain the pressure. Gil
