Any idea how a relatively new Perazzi could have wound up with 0.012 MWT?


Careless honing or back boring. I'll be willing to bet it didn't leave Brescia that way. Perazzi purposely bursts one out of every fifty barrels with hydraulic pressure to see where they fail. I once watched a video of them doing so. I guess anything is possible, but the odds are very high that it was monkeyed with after it was built, IMO.
