Of course you havent seen many guns with restruck barrels, thats lots of hard work, and my point exactly. Except in the world of Bill. See Bill has no experience actually working on guns. I'll bet he has never restruck a set of barrels and measured them along the way. If he had, he might know the difficulty in doing so. I've done and I know. Its much easier to hone from the inside and that is also the location of most barrel problems, hence thats where the metal is usually removed from. You dont even need to polish barrels to reblack them, thats why you see pitting under many reblack jobs. As to the marking of sleeved guns, I've stated my opinion. Sleeving a gun like that without marking it so is done for one purpose and one only, to find a sucker and rid him of his hard earned money.
