Help needed
 
I have an old parker that Mr Graham has checked out and made some repairs. Upon his examination the right barrel is thin right in front of the chamber. It is a 1 1/2, 12 guage. His advice was to not shoot it, in that barrel. I am not a safe queen type of guy, any advice on where I may find a set of 1 1/2 barrels? Or would I be better off sending it to have tubes put in it for 20 guage? It is to nice to just sit around and look pretty.

That is a bad place for thin barrel walls. I have a 16 with similar issue and Briley put 28 gauge short tubes with great results.

Brian Dudley 09-10-2023 08:47 PM

What are the measurements of the barrel?

Larry Welch 09-11-2023 10:39 AM

Dudley, I don't remember exactly, I just remember he said he wouldn't even suggest rst loads out of the right barrel.

It’s advisable to start a new thread with your new topic. The home page has lots of helpful information, such as pertaining to your inquiry. Easy fix:

What would a minimum wall thickness in front of the chambers be for a 12 gauge, any frame size?

Dean Romig 09-11-2023 09:17 PM

My WAG is about 0.0115" as a minimum... or should I say that for my own personally safety I wouldn't shoot an old sxs that had less than 0.0110" at the juncture of the chamber and the beginning of the forcing cone.

I have a Damascus 0-frame 16 gauge GHE that Oscar Gaddy measured at 0.0063" and wrote to me that it "is probably safe to shoot with pressures of less than 7,500 psi."

I ain't 100% sure but if I remember I think.0030. It had been refinished and he said they took too much out while doing so. I may wind up just getting a set of tubes from briley, but I would love to find a set of barrels and have them fitted.

Brian Dudley 09-11-2023 10:48 PM

Well, without knowing what the measurements were, we cannot exactly advise on it. Keep an eye out for barrels and hope they can be fitted. Best of luck.

Thicknesses at the front of the forcing cones will usually be in the .090” to .110” area on 12g guns. I have seen as low as .080” in various gauges and they were perfectly shootable guns.

Larry Welch 09-12-2023 12:08 AM

I will ask Mr Graham.

Are you sure about your decimals? I can't believe anyone would suggest six thous safe to shoot.

Dean Romig 09-12-2023 10:20 AM

:eek: Caught me again Edgar. I’ve done that before and should know better…:banghead:

This entire thread is a jumble of incorrectly stated decimals. Mr. Welsh's decimals are not any more accurate than Mr. Romig's. Three thousandths? How about we refer to these measurements as "thousandths" rather than using decimals.

Dean Romig 09-12-2023 12:57 PM

One hundred, ten thousandths on the twelve gauge and Oscar Gaddy measured sixty-three thousandths on my sixteen-gauge Damascus barrels... :corn:

.063" anywhere beyond the fore end is fine, but at the forcing cone?:nono::nono:
Thats 1/16". (One Steenth) You might never get hurt, but it would only take one tired iron/steel junction, and you could blow that out with a bicycle pump.
Nope, nuh uh, not me!

edgarspencer 09-12-2023 02:40 PM

Dammit Bill, I'm sorry. I meant to say sixty three thousandths.

Dean Romig 09-12-2023 02:56 PM

You guys must have been a nightmare in math class. (:

But thank you for sticking with the conversation as I find it helpful.

Scot Cardillo 09-15-2023 09:28 AM

A standard sheet of paper measures approximately .002-.003 (two - three thousandths).

Refer to page 1 of this thread for the help you need. This thread was not intended to help with ejector fixes, but good luck.
