In my opinion Jack, While there is a great deal of truth in Jay's words, his statements are still a generalization and most definitely do not address Parkers or other guns manufactured as "light game guns" such as the 0-frame sixteens and 1-frame twelves that were filed to minimum thickness in the area of the forcing cones.
I have an otherwise "healthy, American made double in good condition" with ring bulges at the forcing cones because someone long before I became the owner of this gun used poor judgement in the ammo he used in this gun - a Parker Bros. 0-frame sixteen gauge with 2 1/2" chambers... further, DSR sayeth naught.
