Barrel thickness of Fox guns

Has any one ever "blueprinted" the various barrel weights of the Fox guns, comparing the wall thickness of the various barrel weights?
Mostly interested in the No. 4 20's and 16's.
Thanks

Good question. I owned one 4 weight gun. An early A grade 16 (300033) with snap on forearm. Barrel wall thickness was .025 about 6" from on the barrel end on the right barrel. Bores were pristine and .658 as I recall. Left barrel was .028 BWT at about the same place. Factory letter came in a 5 lb 10 ounces on that gun. Was an extractor gun with 26" barrels.
