If that is what you meant, the answer is 1.365" to 1.374". Here are some additional measurements: at the breech, total width across both barrels is 2.592" height of right barrel at breech from flats to 12 o'clock: 1.365" height of left barrel at breech at same point: 1.374" barrel thickness at breech, measured just inside the cut for rim: 0.243" diameter of rim relief cut: 0.936" diameter of chamber just inside rim: 0.862" width across both barrels at muzzle: 1.874" height (diameter) of barrels at muzzle: 0.961" thickness of barrels at muzzle: 0.085" The barrels are 30" long and weigh 4.95 lbs.

OP CJF Sidelock Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 301 Likes: 43 North Carolina	For some reason I had been thinking this gun was made prior to 1925. My thanks to Lagopus for setting me straight...proofs are post-1925. Proof marks on the Ford - Proof marks from the website of the Birmingham proof house -
