Photos are attached.
Comments appreciated.

The wall thickness at the muzzle is not where you need to take measurements for safe shooting. Barrel wall thickness to determine minimum wall thickness must be taken along the entire lrngth and circumference of each tube. Thin spots can show up anywhere. Thin spots can also support a suspicion that barrels may have been honed.
