That's sure not my opinion. Once again, it's a matter of where the .024 is. If it's in the last third or even the front half of the barrel I wouldn't worry about it at all if the rest of the barrel is solid. I think a whole lot of Parker guns would be tossed aside from "thin walls" if the owners really knew how thin they are. But many of them were originally struck quite thin and they've gone a hundred years with nary a problem. Why not another hundred. Find out where the thinnest portion is and then make your decision.
