New-To-Me 20 Ga GH
Hello,
I am new to the forum as I was just gifted a 20 Ga GH Parker.
The gun appears to have been built in 1935 and has a size 0 frame. It's previous owner was a petite lady and the length of pull to an original Parker buttplate is 13". What concerns me is the length of the barrels, 27 1/4". I read the description on the Parker website about determining if the barrels had been cut. There is no smooth band between the front bead and the end of the rib. The barrels appear to touch at the choke end, and by feel, the right barrel is slightly more open than the left.
is it likely that the barrels have been altered? Is it possible that the gun was manufactured to a 13" LOP?
Thank you for any thoughts on this matter.
Matt
