I am glad they added that additional note, but it is not as direct as I would have worded it. I might have said "The barrels have a few cracks in them and may not be shootable in their current condition"
Drew I didn't measure the wall thickness back when I briefly had the gun. I was a new to Parkers and didn't have the tools. Sadly, 6 years later and I still don't have the right tool to measure wall thickness. I am making it a priority this year to get a Hosford wall thickness gauge. I really should have one...
I will say that I remember when I put a flashlight to it on the outside of the barrel I could see a little bit of light coming through on the inside. Not a good situation...that is right where your hand would be. Even if the cracks were welded, I am not sure I would feel comfortable shooting that.
