I have a set of 26" sleeved barrels on a vintage gun with minimum barrel wall thicknesses of over 35 thousandths. The only problem is that the sleeved barrels make the gun heavier than it should be for a gun with 26" barrels. Does anyone have any experience with making a set of barrels lighter, either by removing metal from the inside or from the outside to lighten up the barrels by a few ounces? Barrels with minimum BWT of 28 or 30 would be just fine. Thanks.
