Very nice. Is the safety automatic or manual?

Phillip Carr 03-19-2016 06:24 PM

Yes you are right on the money Charlie.
It has a manual safety. With a single selective trigger.

Just weighed this Parker 7 lbs. 7 Oz

For those of you who have been playing with Parker Skeet Guns for a while, how are the Skeet-In and Skeet-Out chokes bored?

Is the Skeet-In like the SKEET choke in Remington Sportsman and Model 31 Skeet Guns from 1934 to 1948? A taper reaching about .006" an inch and a quarter to inch and a half from the muzzle, then a flare to the muzzle? I've found the SKEET choke in Remington Sportsman and Model 31 Skeet Guns is just like the "Skeet Cylinder" in the right barrels of Savage's Fox Skeet & Upland Game Guns. Winchester's WS-I in the right barrel of Model 21 Skeet Guns is similar but longer.

I'm beginning to wonder if part of the reason for the demise of American side-by-side skeet guns may be how tight our makers choked the left barrel of their skeet guns. My Ithaca NID skeet guns are .016" in the 12-gauge and .014" in the 20-gauge. I recently reentered the Model 21 realm with a 1953 vintage Skeet Gun and the left WS-2 barrel sports .015" choke.

skeet chokes
 
Have two Mod. 21 skeet 12 gauges. Both are bored: right .007, left .014. Might have something to do with the ammo they used to pattern with.

My 16ga VHE skeet is choked .010 & .011 so it's about M/M. I have never checked the chokes on the 20 or 28 ga guns but it might be interesting.

Phillip Carr 03-20-2016 04:42 PM

Well I took measurements today. 2 3/4" chambers. .729 bores. Chokes Left .019 and right .014.

Dave, a Parker Skeet gun is choked the reverse of a field gun, the left barrel is the more open barrel (skeet in), the right barrel is the tighter barrel (skeet out). They were done this way because the first shot in Skeet is a going away bird. My 12ga GHE Skeet which is all original as far as I know is bored .007 in the right barrel stamped "skeet out", and .004 in the left stamped "skeet in".

Pete what is the SN also does this have a single trigger.

Bill Murphy 03-20-2016 08:10 PM

Phil, I am interested in purchasing your skeet gun. I have a 20 and a .410 and am trying to complete my collection. I know it's hard, but I am trying my best.
