I believe that any Parker gun made with what we refer to as “reverse chokes” was made that way because it was ordered that way for the type of shooting the buyer planned to do with that gun. I can easily understand a gun being reverse choked for incoming targets such as pass shooting either waterfowl or doves to a watering hole or food source. Also for such shooting as European driven grouse... any shooting at game or inanimate targets that are incoming.
As for me, I simply select the choke I want to shoot first by using the trigger for that barrel...
