Is my Parker safe to shoot?

Best to have a competent gunsmith look it over. Barrel wall thickness is primary. Chances are it has another 100 years of life left in it.

Any 100 year old shotgun deserves a check and clean by a double gun specialist, with the interest, equipment (bore scope and wall thickness gauge, and proper screwdrivers!), and expertise to properly do so.
Let us know your general location and we might be able to recommend someone near you.

Thanks guys.

Jay,
I’m in Central Virginia about 30 miles west of Richmond. Please let me know a qualified gunsmith in my area.

Thanks
Jim
