I've got one at the shop that looks like a set of calipers but with about six inch depth capabilities . Don't really care for it however but it's better then nothing . I do have a good friend that has a nicer one that's good for everything from 10 gauge to 410 and that thing from Brownells was like $700 !

I'll second the Skeets gauge. I believe the Parker Story talks about the change in bore diameter happened in the early 1890s. Austin Hogan did research on this also. The 1879 lifter I had had bores of .750 with about 30/1000s choke in each barrel. I miss Austin. Every time he spoke I learned something new about Parkers.

I need to make an addendum to my post. Fox did pattern some guns when it was requested to be certain percentages or with a specific load, they didn't pattern every gun. That would be expensive!!

I've seen a lot of Parker hang tags, including many Trojans, and I have never seen one that hasn't been patterned.

Great point Dean (as usual) but today we would be unable to duplicate Parker's load. So getting back to John's OP, John, pattern your gun for point of impact, then try different loads as see which ones your gun likes. Don't worry about your chokes. You can get them tighter or more open by changing loads. Shoot a few hundred clays with it and you'll get a feel for her performance.
