Unstruck Barrel Weight question

[Liftengineerdoc]

Thanks Randy. British and other European proof houses stamp the barrel weights too, and I thought it would have been more exacting. They did it to ensure no material had been removed from the barrel interior - i.e. to open a choke or lengthen a chamber.

Maybe I am making too big a jump in logic here. Either way, I do appreciate the input greatly.

Cheers!

There is no etched in stone or paper writing to substantiate my thoughts , but it’s been my experience to weigh uncut barrels with the forearm and USUALLY they’ll weigh within a couple ounces either way of the struck weight .
