Looking at a Restored Parker VHE. 1 1/2 Frame Mod & Full 28 inches. To be clear I am not a gun collector would use it for shooting SxS Clays. Looks nice outside well done no over polish sharp edges. Seller said the Remington Custom Shop did the work. Something about Remington today makes me cautious. Bores are so good I would like to measure the barrel's see if Pitts have been polished out. Seller, shop I know well, and has the gun on consignment has agreed.

Two questions, If I measure what wall thickness am I looking for. My LC Smith and Birmingham Double are .035 or a bit more. I passed on a polished out restored Parker last month that was .018 one spot only. Too thin for me. 2nd Question Is Remington custom shop a positive or negative. Gun is not cheap but not expensive either, seems to be priced as what it is, restored.

All opinions appreciated.
