Be careful. There is low pressure and there is low pressure. I shot one that was .020 at the thinnest. It was ten gauge, and I picked a load rated at 4800psi. Everything went fine, but I was not comfortable with it.

Dean,

I have not measured them; the owner did,so they may be worse than reported. I do not want to make a costly and dangerous mistake in their purchase.

Thanks.

I had this discussion yesterday with David Trevalian. My personal standard has always been 25 but he tells me he has submitted dam barrels for London proof down to 20 and had them pass. I also thing all dam is not created equal and the history of the gun and any past abuse is important. JMHO
