Let me straighten it out a bit, the barrels have been measured for wall thickness and they are well into safe range, just stating that as they have been measured twice so far. So originally the gun has records that the gun was sent in for repairs, the following was requested: Barrels to have dents taken out, clean and reblue. The action and locks tightened. I was curious about what cleaning meant since it was listed with the barrel work. Would that be Pitts removed from the barrel? Could it be speculated the current measurements are a result of being sent back for repairs. Would it be possible for a Parker experienced gunsmith to see the changes and know based on condition and patterns of examining literally hundreds of Parker barrels. I think that sums it up. My reply was in defense as it appeared to me that it was interpreted to bash the Bachelders, which it wasn’t and wanted to put a stop to something before it starts. So I do apologize for any conflict, but do want to make it clear there is no beef �� what so ever! Bachelder’s has been more than accommodating and very helpful over the years!
