He didn’t mention anything in a way of a fix for barrel. I know from what I gathered from email that it’s thin in the chambers which makes me wonder if a chamber sleeve might fix it

What he's saying is that the width ecross the breech end of the barrels is too narrow (not thin) to properly mate with the width of the breech face of the frame.
