Barrel wall thickness

[OH Osthaus]

I often hear 25 thousands mentioned as a standard and I understand in some conditions the Birmingham Proof house will accept 20.

the thinest damascus I have, that I shoot is just with my very own eyes and hands, is a bit over 30.

That isn't quite right, in a direct e-mail correspondence I had with the chief inspector of The Birmingham Proof House he says that they will inform their customers when the MWT is thinner than .020, even though the barrels may have passed proof thinner than .020.

thanks - at least I said "I understand" not "I know"

I still like 30+
