Skeet In, Skeet Out

[John McComb]

I have encountered a Parker with the barrel flats labeled "Skeet In" "Skeet Out". The restrictions are basically cylinder and skeet. Is the idea to use the "Skeet In" tube on incoming clays and "Skeet Out" on clays moving away?

Any help would be appreciated.

That's correct John. Tell us more about this gun.

[John McComb]

I will be glad to if I can procure it. Give me a couple of days.

Thanks for the info.

More guns out there stamped Skeet In and Skeet Out on the barrel flats by the Del Gregos then were ever so stamped by the Parker Gun Works.

Right Dave and with bobbed barrels too!

My understanding, and I could be wrong, is SI is .005 choke, and SO is .015 choke, or skeet and light mod. The reason being is back when skeet was started and those designations were used, skeet was shot with " gun down " and the shots were longer than modern skeet and with fiber wads patterns were bigger. Now everyone with the gun up tries to break em by the center stake. Today I don't believe Briley has skeet out at L.M.

We have the same problem with '32 Fords these days.

[Dean Romig]

I don't see that as a problem. This being a '34 gives an idea of "It's your car - do what you want to." It serves to make the originals more valuable.

According to the sign on the 1932 Ford V8 at the Lemay Museum in Tacoma, Ford built 287,285 cars in 1932 but only 6,893 were V8s. Probably pretty hard to find a 1932 Ford with the original four cylinder today!!
