Skeet Guns

[Reggie B]

Skeet guns seem to always be an interesting discussion. According to the The Parker Story no skeet configured guns were noted prior to #232262 in 1929. Has anyone seen a Parker with configurations on an earlier gun? I know some skeet guns have been “fabricated” and one has to exercise caution. What is your opinion on the attached images.

Is that two sets of Remington date codes? Great gun.

A true Parker Skeet gun should have had reverse chokes to the best of my knowledge. This one does not.

Pretty early for a factory skeet gun. The skeet markings were probably applied when the Remington Repair Codes were stamped. None of this reduces the value of a great gun.

Were the skeet chokes always reversed even on a single selective trigger?

That was my question as well.

FWIW, I once had a Remington/Parker 16 gauge skeet gun (noted as such on the IBM card) that was not reversed choked. It had a single selective trigger.

I should think with a single selective trigger that’s a moot point . Besides what they claimed as skeet in and skeet out are a heck of a lot tighter than what would fill that bill today .

Yes I have seen that before. Wish I could answerr better but I am having a hell of a time with the eyes. John D you need to upgrade this to voice to text!

All but a very few Parker skeet guns have selective single triggers. A very few have double triggers, but those may have been "not" skeet guns when they were made. I have never heard of a Parker skeet gun with a non-selective single trigger from the factory.
