Wall thickness relative to frame size

[Dean Romig]

Wall thickness relative to frame size is equally dependent on bore size. Further, chamber wall thickness, beginning of forcing cone thickness, and probably the first 12" to 15" or so is also largely a result of both frame size and bore, i.e., gauge.

.020 "past the forearm" is definitely a sign that the gun has been fooled with. The scariest gun I have ever examined is the probably unique #1 frame ten gauge DH grade gun. It hasn't blown up yet, but the chamber walls are thin beyond description. It is factory original and is in the order book. It is #71767 as I recall. Look it up.

Just curious, Bill, if you remember, what was the wall thickness that you describe here as "thin beyond description"?
