Appreciate this thread. Bruce--I am an admirer of your Parker Collection and your knowledge of the Brand. I think it is great that you are comfortable loading up an old "D" Parker and firing away (holding it at arms length is better than between your legs, certainly)
However, we spend a lot of time here on the Forum talking about wall thickness at various positions down the barrel and, subsequently, about the problems that can result from honing and whatever else to said barrel.
I hope before you "let her rip" you did a wall thickness measurement to make sure that you were safe when firing. I for one would miss your written commentary if something would cause that to go away.
