I get .043" wall thickness for the 30 barrel insert...No reason it shouldn't work, I'd think...It would be supported full length...And not all that much pressure...

But these 'kits' are definitely ugly when installed...

(A paperclip is .035"...Add two thicknesses of lined notebook paper and you've got .043")...
