Not a Parker but "Choke Bored?"
I picked up a basket case 12 gauge Crescent Arms gun and had my brass gauge with me. It told me there was still choke left in the gun, being modified and modified. The barrels were stamped "Choke Bored."
When I got home I measured the bores and both were .710 all the way to the end, cylinder and cylinder in cut barrels. I am wondering what advantage did they gain by deviating from the standard .729 and the gun is hammerless so it had to be made when there was some standardization in the 12 gauge bores.
I wish I could have know how much choke was put into the gun to achieve a hardware store gun with probably full chokes.
