Agreed and I get that. Having said that I have measured both bores at .735 on this gun.

to the original Parker question, for me it's .039 in both in a 12ga 3 frame 32" V grade -
anything I have that's tighter than .045 isn't a 12ga Parker

I have a 1912 vintage VHE with the left barrel choke constriction of .049. Both barrels measure .732. I'm pretty sure this is an original gun, and it matches the letter. I've not patterned it, but I can tell you it reaches out with that left barrel and will kill a pheasant stone dead at 45+ yards (and will miss them entirely at 20 yards when I'm not on them!).
