With just under a 1/4 million Parker’s produced they are not all collectors. Some should be enjoyed and shot and set up the way you would really enjoy.
I’m only an occasional clay bird shooter so I like to shoot guns that work for my game which is wild birds.
I wouldn’t think of modifying chokes on high grade and high condition gun but why not carry a gun you love to shoot and that is choked the way you would have ordered it had you been born in a time that would have been given you that option?
No need to find another gun if you own a shooter grade Parker, and wish it was choked differently.
Just make sure you send it to a professional such as Dean Harris and some others... not just a hack.
A few hundred dollars invested that might bring a smile to your face the next time that covey rises.
Just my 2 cents and I’m sure don’t expect all will agree, but some things are done for just plain old self satisfaction.
To heck with what the next guy wants. Live for the day.
Most of my guns will be sold 50 cents on the dollar or less when the time comes and I’m chasing birds over my long passed dogs. It won’t matter how my favorite guns are choked.
