The statement about the .1" measurement of the thinnest part of the chamber does refer to the 45-70 cartridge chambering and is in Mic McPhersons article - What is Possible with a Marlin. He refers to the chamber at the threads in my reading.

Don't know about the 450 Alaskan but in 45-70 the chamber wall is over .2" in the 1895SS except where it is supported by the receiver. Seems it would be wise to use it for what it was manufactured for. If I was a manufacturer I wouldn't be trying to cater to wildcatters fun. Especially in today...

Years ago I thought the Bible was likely a Hebrew Canterbury Tales but I read an article (not the one presented here) about this man and became convinced in about 5 minutes that the Holy Spirit is the author. I have a matematical mind.

The point of the airgun is to learn to concentrate. I used the Beeman R7 and sent it back a couple of times for a new spring. As to the weather - of course but the basics first.

Airgun is a great way to go to practice the basics very inexpensively. I shot these among about 5000 shots this way in the garage as stated in the other post about using a 20 ft. garage range.
