Thanks for the additional information.
It sounds like someone honed the barrels significantly. There appears to be plenty of thickness left throughout the barrel, but i won't know for sure until I get a bore gauge.
4 1/2 inches past the breech bore is .626 right and .629 left(the numbers I used to determine choke last night). 4 1/2 inches from the bore end is .619 right, .617 left (this would yield chokes of .002 right; .016 left)
I can only reach 4 1/2 inches with the i.d. gauges I am using. I will have to get some better equipment to check wall thickness.
I got it at the right price. I'm happy just to have the action to learn gunsmithing on, even if the barrels end up scrap.
