To quote Mr. Tom Roster in context, one must understand there was much more to his statements. To quote the passage (and emphasis added where applicable to Parker and other vintage, fixed choked shotguns). Reference: Nienke Beintema, UNEP/AEWA Secretariat (2002)

Thanks John. My thoughts are that in an older gun such as our Parkers, Foxes, Smiths, Lefevers, etc., we would be wise to heed that highlighted caption. Some of the barrel wall thicknesses we've read of on the forum here might not fare very well under such steel shot loads in the conditions mentioned there. Just my take anyhow...

What all this really means is that anybody with good sense won't shoot steel in a vintage shotgun unless it's just some old beater piece of crap they don't care about. Notice I said, anybody with good sense......

What Browning says about using Steel Shot in any of their older (Belgian) A5s, Superposed, Leige, and other Belgian Over/Under models, Double Automatic, American-made A-5 regardless of fixed choke:
