The only Parker Reproductions that had factory-supplied screw-in chokes was the Sporting Clays Classic model. It was only produced in a 12ga. DHE-Grade w/28" bbls. and was supplied from the factory with six choke tubes. It has been reported that there were only 125 SCCs produced, they are rare and as a result they seldom come to market. Below is an unfired SCC in an extremely hard to find configuration: SG, SPL and DT -- I know of only two such examples in an SCC.

Briley, as well as others, have successfully installed choke tubes in some Parker Reproductions. If you're considering having this done with your gun I would recommend proceeding with caution, as some have had issues with aftermarket choke tube installations done where "ghosting" of the threads has shown up as a result insufficient barrel wall thickness in the muzzle area. Reputable gunsmiths will take the necessary measurements before attempting to install screw-in chokes.
