By all means don't cut the barrels. Pattern it, then try it in the field on game birds. You might be surprised to find that this gun has perfect chokes for your purpose.
IMO, the best set up for a bird gun is a quality two trigger SxS, with an open first barrel, and a tight second barrel.
You may have the perfect quail gun. If the patterns don't work for you, sell it, and find one better suited to your needs.
The best way to modify a Parker, is to modify who owns it, by finding one that fits your needs.
