.012"? Well sure. I should have qualified my belief by stating I was referring to something reasonable. What's reasonable? For one, what it left the manufacturer with.

Beyond that, what's reasonable for me may not be for you. I am only responsible for my decisions about this. There are limits to everything. I'd like to see that engineer if he were to be confronted with a chamberless, barrelless gun about to touch off a round. I don't think he'd be standing beside it. I wouldn't, obstruction or no.

I'm still not convinced that Perazzi had no bore obstruction. Show me proof it didnt. Why would that pressure blow through .012" high tensile steel alloy when it could exit down bore?

May God bless America and those who defend her.
