Normally a Parker "Skeet" gun has the tighter choke, Skeet "Out" in the right barrel and Skeet "In", the more open choke in the left barrel. The reason is the first shot on the skeet field is a high house going away and the second shot a low house incoming bird.

This gun appears to be choked in the normal fashion of less choke in the right barrel "IN" and more choke in the left "OUT".

My opinion is that that is a pistol grip stock.

I have 238330 only one gun off from yours. Mine is listed as having a trap modified forearm like yours. Could you post pictures of your forearm for comparisons purposes.

Mine is a straight grip single trigger with a nice stick of black feather crotch.

That is absolutely factory work. In fact, it appears to have the "trap" or 'heavy' comb we rarely see but which are common to competition trap and skeet guns.

This late Parker also has the "Trap" comb.

Parker shotgun, serial number 238331, was sent to J.G. Heath of the Remington Arms Co. and shipped February 11, 1936. According to the Remington IBM Card, it was a VHE hammerless, 12 gauge. It featured Vulcan steel barrels with a length of 26 inches.

According to Stock Book No. 82, the stock was a straight grip and a trap modified forend. The frame size was 1 ½. The stock dimensions, chokes, and butt treatment are not listed in the stock book.

My thoughts are that possible the VP of sales may have had a buyer that wanted a PG?

Or there is an error in the records.

Example: I have a Grade 4 made in 1884 with 30" Bernard barrels. The gun is all original.... The research letter shows the gun as having been made with 30" Damascus barrels. Chuck even double-checked for me but couldn't find anything mentioning Bernard barrels.
