Hi David. Fortunately there is no pitting around the firing pin holes and I don't know why. And thanks for the tips. It was nitro proofed in 1951 at what I take to be .700" and it is now .709". I don't know if that means it is out of proof or not. Minimum wall thickness of .032".

Thank you jOe - very good advice.

Best,

Mike



I am glad to be here.
