The bar stock is AB4-187X1 1/4X12, but I'm trying to figure out if this is 3/16" thick, I messed my piece up and I ordered a 1/4" thick piece from mcmaster-carr- but it got here and is thicker, so now I'm stuck and trying to figure out my next step

help!

.187 is 3/16"

If it were 1/4", it would be AB4-25X1 1/4X12.
The "AB" means it is aluminum bar stock. "187" means it is 3/16" thick. "1 1/4" means it is 1 1/4" wide. "12" means it is 12" long.
