Well, sorry to piss on this fire. Turns out my WR was 15 thou in the pits. No mention of this in the description. It's totally my fault for not measuring. But I pretend to blame it on my illness and my desperation to get something at the auction. My friends at Lovels phoned Nick Holt for me...who surprisingly said "well we are just the auctioneers".

I'm really sad about this. I buy from them in a belief that they are honest about the thickness and proof of guns they sell. I've bought buckets of guns from them. But for a 750 gun they kick me in the face...blue from a tumour removed recently.. (ok just being dramatic). But it really hurt. Anyway I'll phone Nick Holt tomorrow myself and report back here what the answer was.

I don't mind really. I like the gun and will probably fire the gun even though it's 15 thouh near the muzzle. But I didn't realy expect there to be no comment from them. EVERY other gun in their description tells me if something is below recommended minimum thickness and for them to pull this fast one has really made me think about EVER buying from them again...even in my expected short life-time!
