One thing to watch out for is a gun that has open chokes may have had the barrels cut back thereby eliminating most or all of the original choke. It takes a practiced eye to be able to determine if the barrels have been cut. Not that there is anything espeially wrong with cut barrels because such a gun will serve the purposes of someone like you who wants open chokes. Just remember that such a gun will have lost a great deal of its collector value, so don't be taken and pay too much for such a gun. There are some Parkers that were made with open chokes but Parkers predominantly had relatively tighter chokes.
We have a number of members in Virginia and maybe someone there will read this and offer his assistance.
