I would bet a lot of people bought these old guns before anyone started measuring them and shot the snot out of them. I shot a lot of them and never had a barrel measured. If Brad says their to thin I would probably take his word for it.

That gun is a beaut Merrington is the best sleever and that's what I would do. I had 28 ga inserts made by Briley for an Island lock 1873 Purdey hammergun and they worked nice but changes balance of gun. Gun was a 12 and did not have to have I just thought 28's would be fun. I had an Army Navy looked just like your gun was very lite 20ga, resurrect that fine little double. I had a .017 thin nitro proofed 12 ga Westley I shot a bunch and never had a problem used RST. They were thin. Found it hard to sell because of that.
