That generally translates to about 3" - 4" of choke. Just about right I'd say.

That tells me you have plenty of constriction, I think that really clean stub twist barrels are probably hard to find. I think you have a real keeper . Shoot it and enjoy. Dave

Very nice gun. :bowdown:

Bruce, that's a neat 12 bore you've got there, but since you won't need it once your GH gets back from Michigan, I'll be glad to take it off your hands and even let you make a buck or two on it. :whistle:
Just pm me when the time comes.:)

Bruce: And another one bites the dust!!! Welcome to the wonderful, frustrating, and satisfying world of Parkers! Very nice piece, congratulations, there are still some out there if you look hard enough and diligently enough. Havea great day and I hope you find a bunch more. Every one we save is a piece of history not thrown in the trash can! Lee.:bigbye:

You just have to love those laminated barrelled hammer guns.
Bruce that sure is pretty. Be careful you dont get a 10 ga. :eek:they are even better than the 12s.:whistle:
I'm glad that another Parker found a good new home.

Yes, I appreciate the craftsmanship of yesteryear. Tomorrow I'll be picking up another twist steel side by side. It's been a long wait for the background checks to go through here in Colorado, about 11 days. My new acquisition is a hybrid of solid steel and twist barrels. The first four inches of the barrel and hook system are milled from a solid block of steel (mono-block) and the twist barrels are threaded into it (some way). It's a classic J. Stevens Model 360, made in about 1905. Production only lasted for a year or so. The idea behind this model was to provide twist steel barrels with the additional strength and security of the solid steel mono-block. I'll post photos on the "Other Fine Doubles" forum. I can't wait to pattern and dust some clay's with these classic doubles.
