How would I owning a wall thickness and a bore gauge save the cost of insured shipping?
Note: I purchase guns relatively infrequently. When I do, I have a couple of local friends that have these pieces of equipment, I always offer to pay them for the couple of minutes that it takes them to measure, but they have always refused any compensation. If we found barrels thin most, if not all, sellers would require the buyer responsible for return shipping, no?
