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.

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.

To be totally honest I’d never given the choke arrangement on these things much thought . I pulled my 16 out today to put in my using cabinet for the Saturday opener and to finger it a bit before then . Anyway I took it apart to see how my barrels are marked and the supposed tighter choke is on the right . But again I’d never much concerned myself with which was which . That being said I usually leave the selector set for right barrel first

I had a very nice 20 gauge VHE skeet with letter in my hands a couple weeks ago at Prospect Hall wish I’d paid more attention to choke arrangement on that one ! Wish I’d gone on and bought it as well
