These two barrel 28 gauges are out there right now and are selling for thousands less than they were a few years ago. Go for it.

Anybody that has ever altered their Parkers from original have thought the same thing. And therein lies the problem.

A very pretty set. My 28Ga only has the 26" barrels with Q1 & Q2 chokes and I shot if for the first time Sunday at skeet. Ran a 25 with it first time out and I never broke a straight with my IC and Mod 28Ga. The Q1 & Q2 chokes really impressed me. I'm going to try it for grouse in Wisconsin next season.

Problem? Maybe for my heirs. I ain't ever gone sell it! :rotf:

I have made up my mind, no more unfired guns in my "collection". I'm only keeping guns I will shoot and enjoy. If that means opening up a choke to make it work for me, then so be it. I'll let my wife haggle with the new owner after I'm gone.

This choke opening is so expensive and the shipping and insurance is so ridiculous. I think I'll learn how to shoot a shotgun instead of going through all that punishment. No fuss, no muss.

Harsh.

Keeping unfired guns is like sacrificing virgins.

Never heard that one before, but I guess you are correct. Pretty good analogy. And I guess that is why I sell unfired guns and don't hold on to any virgins.

Opening chokes
 

Marvin,
I agree with you 100% about opening chokes if needed. I am a shooter and not a collector. If I bought a gun solely for an investment shooting it would devalue it also. I feel that handicapping yourself afield is no worse than a little modification where needed.
When I finally punch out, all of my Parkers will be well worn with decades of wonderful provenance.
