Bill, the Rochester Ordinance guns would have the same barrel wall thickness as any other gun. These Longrange/Wildfowl guns were all built on a Regular frame and although in Houchins' book lists them as being on a larger frame, they are not. I have not measured the wall thickness on mine, but I have measured the bores on the two that I have and they both measured .729. On barrels that I have measured wall thickness, the thinnest area is usually 20-23" from breech and by this time the pressure has dropped to close to half.
