Drew, Is it then logical, that if one cannot know the depth of a pit that honing to the point where the pit disappears and measuring the wall thickness at that point would be the only way to really know what the true minimum wall thickness is? If the honing results in barrel walls that are too thin, it was unsafe to begin with?
How dangerous is a pinpoint pit compared to honing the entire barrel to the minimum thickness represented by the pit?

Then again I may ask how many angels fit in a pit.
