Parker Chokes:How Tight Did They Come
 

Yesterday evening I was measuring a Parker 12 bore hammerless gun that had a constriction of .045 in the left tube, .027 in the right. The .045 is way tighter that any other 12 bore Parker I have. Next in line would be a .039/.039. Then Brian listed and sold a really nice Lefever that had chokes of .045 and .046 which got me to thinking. I am sure Parkers choked as such are out there but I don't recall any with both barrels that tight. Just out of curiosity what are your tightest choked 12 bore Parkers, how tight did they get ?

My 10 gauge 34" CH is choked .042/.041, that's my tightest Parker, I own a Super Fox that is choked .049/.049.

.049 in both barrels. That's shoppin in the Mens Department. Nice !

Parker GH 12 gauge .039 / .039

The gun with the tightest choke that I have is a LC Smith Ideal 10 gauge with Damascus barrels. .022 / .050

PARKER VH mfg. 1903

R = .042
L = .040

Tightest one I have with both barrels full.

Nice. What length are the barrels?

I had a GH number 235908 with .043” and .044” but sold it about a year ago before I could even try it out on turkeys.

Shoulda kept it....
