New member with new to me Parker
 

Hello All. I have inherited what I believe was my grandfather's Parker Bros in 16 gauge. Based on what I have found so far I believe it was built in 1928. I think the barrels have been cut down as they measure 26 7/16 inches and the checkering goes right to the end of the barrels. I am an avid upland bird hunter so I am hoping I can take this afield once I get it inspected. Let me know what you think and any advice is much appreciated.

Trojan grade. Yes, the barrels were cut. Likely from 28”

Maybe some choke left. Would make an excellent bird gun for close shooting. Probably why it was cut. Old timers never had chokes opened if there was a hacksaw around.
