Sorry one too many zeros in the wall thickness.

I don't have a research letter yet. Just mailed the requests for the two 16 gauges. Need to space these things out.

I do have a 12ga 0 grade top lever gun that according to the research letter was originally produced with 32" barrels but was pulled from stock and the barrels shortened to 28" at the factory to fulfill a customer order. The stock was also shortened to 13.5" and refitted with DHBP at the same time.

Perhaps this is the same type of situation.
