It's not how old you are, it's how many miles you have on you. At the end of a 13 mile day, especially when I've found absolutely nothing, I'm 100 years old and 6 lbs. is very heavy...as is my heart.
Pat, you'll get there. We'll talk when you do. 
BTW, I think Dean has noted this also, but all of my lettered cylinder barrels measure out at .003-.004. For the Parker barrel regulators, it was all about how many pellets the barrel would pattern, not how the barrels measured out.
