Wow, that hang tag is in great shape! That gun's configuration has a lot of desirable features for bird hunting beyond the chokes -- it's pretty light for a Parker 12, and the drop at heel suggests it was made for rising birds. A great combination of specifications. The gun likely balances well as that is generally an intrinsic element of an untampered with Parker. Even with 26" barrels, I'll bet you can keep the swing on that gun. I just hope you have birds to shoot at!

Sure would be great to see the gun. If it's as good as the hang tag...
