The 26" VH12 I have with only .017" left at the thinnest spot in the cyl side bbl started out as a F/F gun with .034" in the muzzles. The cyl side is actually now a blunderbuss with a +.004" choke. Imagine my thrill when I discovered that. I don't worry about the safety of shooting it as I only shoot 1oz 3dram loads in it for upland hunting and I've taken a lot of birds with that gun. It's my best shooter ever for me. Still, the choke work makes me ill, read that as "pissed", when I look at it. What an embarrassing lesson that was....
