I would be concerned only if that measurement was in the rearmost 12" - 14" but not so much if it was in the forward half of the barrels.
I agree, such a claim as "unsafe to shoot" should be backed up with a documented set of wall thickness measurements. It may yet prove to be unsafe but with only word of mouth you can't expect a seller to take back a gun.
