10 extra ounces is a lot of extra weight at the end of a long day of upland hunting, esp if for Ruffed Grouse. Id roll the dice and leave the Parker alone if it were mine. Chances are, and if you take care, the gun will be fine. Like CZ said, should something bad happen and you dent a barrel, it could likely easily be fixed by a lot of gunsmiths out there.
