I seem to understand that the early, early Parkers may not be safe to shoot even with RST or other low pressure shells, even though it seems generally accepted on here that later composite steel barrels are safe to shoot, assuming no issues and with low pressure shells. Obviously, all old barrels should be shot with care, but what time period or barrel types should one pay closer attention to? Do any of the experts on here care to shed some light on the subject?
