See why didn't I think of that? Here I am with a bunch of Parkers that I have shot for many years with some up to book max loads and with both fluid steel and Damascus barrels and I have never sent a gun off to one of these gunsmiths to have it checked out. If they looked good to me I loaded it up and blasted away.
