LOL: I know you guys are purists and love machines that measure things like barrel thickness. That's fine of course.
My method is simplier. I have several old shotguns...maybe half a dozen. I inspect dozens monthly. My method is to peer down the bore and then run my finger down the outside of the tubes. If the bore looks okay and I don't detect any bumps or ripples along the outside then I inspect the muzzles. If they don't look "spooky" thin, and the gun "talks to me", I'll make an offer.
What constitutes "spooky". Well, you've got me, but like pornorgraphy, I know it when I see it.
