I have a 20 gauge Pardner and a 20 gauge Pardner "Youth". I just noticed that the Youth model has a thinner overall barrel outside dia (OD). I noticed the differences when I tried to swap out a Choate synthetic forend and there was a huge gap between the barrel and the forend on the Youth model. Wouldn't the thinner barrel on the Youth be less safe than the thicker Pardner barrel?
-Just wondering and thanks for any thoughts on this.
