ALL Parker bores were honed after boring at the factory.

Overbore
Most, but not all. That's the reason for the question.

Quote:
Plenty of Parker guns were overbored when built. Especially prior to 1900, I have measured some 12g. barrels with bore diameter creeping up into the 10g. range and the barrels were completely original. On the Super Fox overboring was one of the keys to its long range performance. But yes, bores can be honed out after the fact to clean up pitting or damage, which can increase the bore diameter slightly. But just because a bore is oversized, does not mean that it must have been messed with after the fact.

My 1918 SC and 1934 SC both had standard bores with .040" choke constrictions

Overbore
Thank you Drew. That is the kind of information I was looking for. Actual bore measurements of SBTs to try to understand how many might be overbored.
Just trying to understand if it might have been something Parker did as a standard offering. And thank you Harry for stating the obvious. |

Was wiping down a few today from the safe and measured bores.
SN 238162 SC 34" bore .730 Choke.036 SN 225127 SC 34" bore .731 Choke .031(Extended Forcing Cones) SN 232323 SC 32" bore .732 Choke .033 SN 206107 SC 32" bore .729 Choke .036 SN 190625 SA1 32"bore .742 Choke .044 (Upgrade by Delgrego and Runge) I feel 238162,232323and 206107 have untouched bores. 225127 has original bore and choke but forcing cones have been extended. 190625 has been upgraded (1972) and most likely had bores polished. Hope this helps Paul
