Scary stuff in You Tube

[birdawg]

I just ran across a few videos on You Tube that seem a bit scary for those of us who buy and use these old guns

Take a look at this

and tell me if I am just being to conservative by feeling uneasy about no mention of things like safe wall thickness. In the one I watched before this old ol Larry just runs the reamer into a chamber with no mention of wall thickness.

NOW I will order one of the wall thickness gauges Frank thoughtfully demonstrated in another thread.

no mention of measuring wall thickness
no mention of minimum safe wall thickness
no mention of stopping hsort of muzzles to avoid removing choke
no mention of putting supporting bushing on handle to keep axis of handle concentric with bore to avoid canting reamer
I could go on.
