What to do? GHE 20 ga

Dave,

Based on the data you collected via all the ogee measuring, what percentage of Parkers have a parallel section at the muzzle?

Mark, To a greater or lesser degree all of them. Very early hammerguns were often bored with a full taper in the bore. It's my belief that Parker Bros. did quite a bit of experimenting with choke before settling on the ogee configuration. When did the ogee choke come into full time use? Good question...but I suspect somewhere in the 1880's.
