So are Rem Parkers made with Remington Cro-Moly barrels modern high carbon steel barrels? It is my belief that rem used the same barrel steel for many years, possibly until present. They have gotten thicker for sure, the newer 870's are like galvanized water pipe.
The only Parker I have shot steel in is a Bernard with .006 constriction both barrels and OMG .045 average wall thickness. The unstruck wt (30", No. 2, 12ga) is 6/0lbs. That gun is immensely strong. My thinest gun is a 12 once honed with .028 remaining and I can't say I like anything below .030. Even my 20's are right at 30 and 20s are notorious for being thin. People talk about light guns like they are wonderful but I don't know about lightness if that weight came out of the barrels.
