I think it's interesting and good to know what a gun's choke constriction is but my determination for how tight a gun shoots comes from pattern testing, a 30" circle at 40 yards. The amount of constriction gives a good idea what a gun should do but I have been surprised by some of my results on a pattern board. Examples; Remington 1900 12ga, .014 and .024 patterned 72% and 86%. Lefever F grade 10ga, .003 and .018, patterned 53% and 85%.

to the original Parker question, for me it's .039 in both in a 12ga 3 frame 32" V grade -
anything I have that's tighter than .045 isn't a 12ga Parker

I have a 1912 vintage VHE with the left barrel choke constriction of .049. Both barrels measure .732. I'm pretty sure this is an original gun, and it matches the letter. I've not patterned it, but I can tell you it reaches out with that left barrel and will kill a pheasant stone dead at 45+ yards (and will miss them entirely at 20 yards when I'm not on them!).
