Plenty of meat on the 28 gauge barrels.

I'm looking at the receiver photos. Looks like some steel was replaced and then worked back down. Just marvelous work! Thanks for sharing it.

Apologies Bill, I thought you were referring to the barrels, the only place you can't add steel.
Weld, anneal, grind and polish.

What a fabulous restoration!!
