ODD CHOKE BORING PATTERN
I just purchased a Parker VHE 16 GA with 30" barrels and 2 7/8" chambers on a 1 frame that weighs 7lbs 6oz.. The right barrel, with .662" bore, is choked at .028" with nice progressive taper beginning at 4" from muzzle. The left barrel, with .662" bore, has choking beginning at 4" from muzzle which gradually tapers to .022" of constriction (.640" bore) at 1 inch from muzzle. From 1" to the muzzle the boring opens in a gradual taper to .012" (.650") at the muzzle.
This is not the product of a muzzle end choke modification which would result in parallel walls not tapered.
Has anyone ever heard or seen this type boreing pattern before?
