Choke question
 
While at the gun club yesterday, this question arose. If I were to have the chambers lengthen from 2 1/2 to 2 3/4 ( this ain't going to happen )what effect if any would that have on the guns pattern? Steel barrels, 16 GH choked Cly./ full.

None

Thanks ! that was most people said.

Agree with Bruce. IMO you have the perfect choke combination.

Daniel, in what year was your Parker made?

The original hang tag may have stated it was made to shoot 2 3/4" shells.

Thanks. That is what most said. Purchased the gun for Prairie grouse. 1 frame at 6 1/2 lb. should be a fun to carry all day. Last week, I Tried it on pheasants tower shoot using the full barrel first. then on a walk up after. It worked well !

Chamber length?
 
How to measure or see if your Parker chamber is lengthened?. Made in the years chambers were 2-1/2

Dean Romig 03-05-2016 12:25 PM

Or 2 9/16", or 2 5/8", are in the mix as well. Use a bore and chamber mic to know for certain what you have.

Dean Thanks ! I had wondered about the chambers and had the idea that 2 3/4 came in about the time the GH was made. So after your post,I when and borrowed a 16 ga. 2 3/4 shell. It dropped right in and the gun closed perfectly.
