O.H. I am in UT. Maybe a good idea to get to a qualified gunsmith for a checkout on barrels and thickness and a once over inspection. I'm hoping the 2-3/4" chamber is original but don't know that yet. A letter is a good idea also.

B. Dudley, I would think if the gun was very questionable that D. Turnbull would not have gone through the restoration. I can't yet speak to the 2-3/4" chamber, that is the listing. I saw a 1900 that was 2-1/2". I will need to verify.

Do we have any idea what the wall thickness should have been to start and/or what is "safe and acceptable"?

Thanks for the advice and details.
