Have you measured the chokes John?

Dean, all I have is a Galazan brass choke gauge. According to it, Right barrel extra full, left barrel full. The gun was advertised as Right barrel full and left improved modified. That's probably correct. Perhaps someone will bring more scientific equipment to the Southern and we can measure them accurately there. I will say that I seem to be picking up more targets at 16 yards with the left barrel over the right. Still experimenting. And still trying to figure out the advantage of reverse choking in trap. Don't see how it helps in doubles. Perhaps it was somehow advantageous in pigeon shooting?

The only advantage to reverse choking that I can think of is in pass shooting ducks.

Dean, I agree. The Voorhee's were big duck hunters and members of the Duck Island Club outside of Peoria. But I would not have tagged this as a duck gun. However, it does have 3 inch chambers and could probably digest about any load you put down her. Maybe I'll take her out to the duck pond behind the house one morning this week and try her out for some double duty.

This gun has had quite a bit of work done to it over the years. The stock was changed to add a cheek piece but that is documented in the Parker records. A beaver tail for-end was added and it appears to be factory work. The for-end iron is definetly for a beaver tail and it has the reinforcement rod. A vent rib was added and it is matted as a Parker rib should be but with no inscription like most Remington Parker's. And the barrels are monobloc but still measure 34 inches in length as original. I know Delgrego did some work on it at some point. I also know that according to the stamped repair codes that the gun was sent to the Remington repair shop for work in 1939, 1940 and 1941. Just don't know what work was performed.
Investigation continues. JND
