My interpretation of MWT is the Minimum I find, after measuring up, down, and sideways. Meaning, the number I give someone on a gun I might describe, is the thinnest wall thickness I find, Anywhere. Otherwise, it's WT, and not MWT

I measured a honed Smith barrel that was .018" from 14-16". I think the 14-16" part is worth sharing. End of chamber was fine at .106". 9" from breech also inadequate at .032". 9" from muzzle .022".
Measured another honed chain damascus Smith 4E that was .032" 9" from the breech. A dealer reporting that as the MWT without the location would be...uh...worrisome.
