Parker Chokes:How Tight Did They Come

Remember folks, Parker never wasted old parts, (fishtail levers) so you cannot say a gun has been honed without seeing the gun.....As Bill knows well "you can never say never with a Parker"

Pellet counts were more often written on the hang tag for the gun and 99.9% of hang tags no longer exist.
