I have a GHE 20 skeet gun, single trigger that has the chokes reversed. Why is anyone guess, I just shoot the left barrel first and don't give it another thought.

Bob Brown is the only poster who says that the Parker Brothers records confirm that the reversed chokes were bored that way at the factory. Any other guns mentioned could have been bored out by the corner gunsmith and probably were. If in doubt, order a PGCA letter and see if the factory bored the chokes in reverse order. I have at least one gun that was ordered that way, but it is rather unusual. One poster implies that his two guns were choked backwards and also that the triggers were backwards. Does he mean to say that a left hander pulls the triggers back to front or that the triggers on his two guns were merely bent opposite of the standard way rather than made so the front trigger fires the left barrel? I know of only one Parker built so the front trigger fires the left barrel. Does Rich's gun have the IN and OUT on the wrong side? Which barrel is OUT and which barrel is IN?

No--those left hand guns were mine. They were true lefty's! The front trigger was on the left side of the trigger plate and fired the left barrel. The back trigger fired the right barrel. The triggers were not bent.

Guys I had the gun checked by a gunsmith today, right barrel was .008 IC and left barrel was .003 skeet. I highly doubt is was factory in my case.

I came across this old thread and wanted to add I have a Parker Bros/Remington GHE Skeet (st grip, btfe, sst, marked skeet in and skeet out) 12ga with reversed chokes, left is Skeet In, Right is Skeet out. Scott Kittredge has a VHE 12ga Skeet 108 numbers apart from my gun and his is also skeet in left and skeet out right. I thought this was normal for the "Skeet" guns?

Pete, It would make sense to choke true skeet guns in this manner in view of the fact that the first target called for is station 1 high house 'skeet out' and as with most situations with a double with two triggers, the foreward trigger is for your first shot and the right barrel... (Am I making my thinking clear on this theory?) ...and the second shot - rear trigger, left barrel consequently would be 'skeet in'...

By the way, my SKEET-ER is choked in this manner in both sets of barrels - rt. tight - left open - and it has a Miller SST

Anyone?
