That thickness at the end of the barrels is perfectly normal.

Yup, normal, and I'm sure Turnbull mentioned it because it was the thinnest section of the barrels. I would buy that gun.

I hope so Bill. I wondered why they didn’t give me the chamber measurements. They said will not be able to strike out remnants or bore polish due to remaining wall thickness

I wonder as well… that juncture I mentioned is the most critical measurement on a set of barrels that have been “polished” or had other work done on them.
