Barrel striking was a manual process (by very skilled people), so inevitably, there can be some variation in wall thickness.
Barrels and ribs are assembled with solder, and that,too, was a manual process with some variation.
Guns with lighter barrels may have also had wood removed beneath the butt plate in order to achieve a balance at or around the hinge pin.
