The Parker made laminated steel, like Dean mentioned are the strongest composite steel barrels Parker offered and were usually on higher grade guns. The early back actions have the same type of laminated steel used on the later grade 1 laminated guns, and were not made by Parker Bros. to the best of my knowledge. Just some info there...
You could shoot black powder shells in this back action as well. That may be the quickest way to try it out. I would use a square 2 1/2 dram, 1oz shot load.
I shot Back action #286 at the Southern with smokeless RST Flacon Ultra Lights that were 3/4 oz at 1125fps. It shot very well and I am looking forward to having more fun with it.
See if you can get the wall thickness measured for peace of mind. Looking forward to hearing a range report...
