Minimum barrel thickness is what's important. If you love the gun (sounds like you do) then my 2 cents is to tell them you will buy it contigent on having a barrel inspection done by someone with the proper tools. You'll pay for the shipment to and from the barrel guy and you'll pay for the inspection itself. I think the barrel guy can also provide his opinion on whether the gun needs to be tightened up and an estimated cost to fix (if necessary). A good smith will charge about $100 for that service and he can turn it around really quickly (maybe in one day). One I can personally recommend is Dewey Vicknair. He works on lots of Parkers for members. Dewey can advise you what you have and provide real numbers for consideration.
