I got a good answer from a member who pointed to me an article on this site that has what I want to follow up. I can't point at the link here because it was texted to me, but I believe it's located at the pages/faq/BarrelThickness posting from sometime back. In any event, it's great to hear and discuss this topic. As we all know, there are many variables involved here. For what it's worth, my 20 ga. shows no information available in the factory records. So I won't know from that. I will get the measurements now that I have a good idea of the standards based on the article mentioned above and then maintain the documentation for the next owner. Kind of like my old boats that I have a weakness for, we are only stewards of these treasures. I call my boats "floating furniture" - now I guess I'll call these fine old doubles "portable art." That's why we spend so much time and $$ on them. Thanks gents. Good discussion and insight. I think I have my answers.
