I’m a big fan of any gun with Hussey engraved on it but .012 is really thin no matter where it is. The Hussey Of Ogden, Smith and Hussey was HJ Hussey’s son. G&H has some of HJ’s records but I don’t know about O,S,H records.
Would you mind posting some photos of the gun? JDG |

I've had Briley full length sub gauge tubes fitted. It was a somewhat different set up as they were sub gauge tubes in an O/U for shooting skeet. I never had any problems with them and they came with several choke's, If they didn't add to much weight it might be a viable alternative.

Double check the wall thickness and maybe have someone else measure them. 20 thousandths at 9" from the muzzle should be ok. The main pressure is towards the breech. They are thin and will dent easier.
Atkin, Grant & Lang https://www.agl-uk.com may hold the records. If you send them an email, they will respond. Ken |

I've owned shotguns that were sleeved, my first thought on all of them was obviously, what happened to the barrels? Second thought was who did the repair? Third thought is always the most important, would I let one of daughters shoot the thing? To me, sleaving kind of diminishes the story of the shotgun. That excludes situations where there is no feasible alternative.
I'll get some pics posted in the next few days. I'm taking it to my normal gunsmith this week to have him check it out. I checked the thickness using the gunshop's equipment (same equipment they used to get .012) and came up with .020, I then used mine (home made and good for most situations) and came up with .022. I spent a great deal of time both in the shop and at home trying to come up with their numbers because I found it hard to believe the steel on this was a little over 2x's the thickness of an aluminum can and I'm certainly no professional gunsmith. Thanks again for any input. Jeff |

Jeff,
I assume you measured around the barrels (i.e., next to the rib, top, bottom, and the opposite side of the rib). Did the gun shop show you where the thin spot is located? I know you don't want to have the gun sleeved. Even if you did, I'm not sure who does sleeving in the states. I heard there are issues finding tubes. Ken |
