Buy some Win. low pressue, low recoil shells. Or some RST or someone who makes low pressure shells for the old guns. I have never measured barrel thickness - just looked to make sure the sun wasn't shinning through any holes. If it looks good and you're useing low pressure shells, shoot it. Or you can go as Rich suggests and get it checked out. Paul

The barrels on this gun are laminated steel? Which I believe is the cheapest barrel Parker used, and the least likely to be safe now. I don't think anyone should recommend that you shoot it, without having it checked out by a gunsmith who knows these guns. Or at least a person with the proper gauges.
That's just my opinion, but it's your face and hands.
