I have a 12 Parker just like the one you pictured - bought it about 7 years ago for 750$. It's still my go to gun for clays, I've always seem to shoot it well. I've bought many a Damascus barreled SxS without measuring barrel thickness - must be lucky - never had a problem with any, but then I'm not buying guns in the 2000$ and up range. Well, one I did for 4000, but only one. A thickness gauge would be nice if I was going to invest in more than beaters.
