I have a 1904 CHE 16 O-frame gun. It weighs a smidgeon over 6 lbs. (research letter also indicates this weight). The unstruck barrel weight is 3 lbs 1 oz. Actual weight is 2 lbs. 8 oz. Its barrel measurements (Hosford gauge for wall thickness measurements) are:
R/L: Bore -- .666.,665 MWT @ Chamber -- .098/.092 MWT @ 9" from breech -- .040/.042 MWT @ 9" from muzzle -- .025/.033 MWT -- .025/.031

Austin was meticulous in his plotting of the measurements of chambers, bores and chokes he measured. Here he supports his findings of forcing cones and chokes having been cut to an Ogee. I took these picture of some of the pages in his notebook. You'll notice that most of them are identified with serial numbers and some are right into the 1920's. .

I have a few 0-frame 16’s as well including hammerless, a T/A hammer and a Lifter as well. I’ll try to get some measurements and post them here.
The Lifter has the Parker-made Laminated barrels. .

Well there ya go.... again we disagree.
Can't argue with you on that point but neither can I argue with Austin's research data..... .

I wasn’t disagreeing with you. I merely said I had a set of James Hayes choke reamers which are straight tapered. They also are dated if I recall. The current custodian can confirm, if he wishes.
