I didn't know that.

What kind of instrument was the 'smith' using that can measure, and differentiate in ten thousands of an inch. Why is the Right barrel, one tenth tighter (.0001") than the left, called Modified, when the Left barrel (I agree that .026" is full), one ten thousands more open is called Full.
I agree that a conventional micrometer can measure in tenths (.0001") but I am not aware of gunsmiths, or anyone outside of laboratory conditions, measuring bores down to a tenth.

Edgar,

My high school English teacher would be embarrassed, I should have been more clear. The measurement he gave me was for MBWT, I cannot say what instrument he used. Bore constriction RB .010 LB .022. I don't know the gentleman, he was a gunsmith the seller uses. I just wanted to make sure the tubes were safe to shoot. Although they are decent, the bores do have some general roughness....I will hit them with a drill and frontier pads soon to see what the deal is there.

David...I don't understand this statement. I did not pick the gun up until yesterday morning. I had the gun measurements done by a gunsmith that it is near the sellers location, to determine if the barrels were sound, before I bought the gun. Until yesterday morning, I had only seen pictures. The surprise was the swivel on the barrels. In the sellers defense, she is a pistol and "black gun" shop, and knows next to nothing about sporting arms...

Beginning to make a plan for a modest custom quail killer! The finish marks on the right side of the receiver are better (not great) after a ballistol/frontier pad session. the barrels ring, even with the sling strap loop attached. will remeove it and try again...suspect they will chime nicely.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I meant that it was “love at first sight”. Deep inside you knew you were going to make her yours.

Every time I spend a little time on “another forum” to remain unnamed, I get jumpy about an ambush!!!!
