Minimum wall thickness for damascus ?

[Dean Romig]

A minimum thickness of .032” is plenty thick as long as that thickness is only from midway to the muzzles.

I wasn't asked, but never one to miss an opportunity to rant

MWT typically starts about 2/3 down the barrel, and extends to where the choke constriction begins, where pressures are about 10% of breech pressure (very close to eyes and other important body parts)

Simply reporting MWT, as most dealers do, is in no way adequate. If the dealer runs a gauge down the barrels, why not at least report end-of-chamber and 9"??
