My CH Bernard Steel two barrel set has a set of 32" barrels that were ordered "to shoot buckshot" without any other notation. It is my reunited "Charleston Gun" that spent its early life on a large plantation, supposedly shooting deer with buckshot with the 32" barrels in place. The bores are a shiny .730 and the chokes are a fairly short 2 1/2" to 2 3/4" length, one .028 and the other .030. There you go, a factory bored Parker buckshot gun, measured out at about improved modified. The second set of barrels, 28" Bernard Steel, was ordered cylinder and cylinder, .730 from front to back, a true South Carolina quail gun.

bill i like the way they ordered this gun to shoot buckshot....but what surprises me is the modified choke ...i would have figured that the choke for buckshot would have been full choke...but them parker barrel men knew there stuff... charlie

I want to shoot the gun on paper with buckshot, bought a nice box of WW paper #0 buck at Ward's last auction. By the time they got to Maryland, they cost me $51, so I won't be shooting them. I'll be looking for a $10 box at the next decent gun show I go to.

let us know how it patterns bill...i m very interested to know how a parker that is bored from the factory shoots..charlie
